Great Book
This was my first grammar that I got, not knowing it was for second year students and beyond. I had learned something about Greek and the biblical text and all that because of my interest in apologetics and cults. This book helped me on some of the texts that cults like to use and abuse for their own purpose. Now being in seminary, and planning to study Greek in the future, it will be something I will need. It also directed me to William Mounce's work which was great.

God Bless Dr. Wallace.

A Great Grammar...Helps Your Understanding
I have long enjoyed the writings of Dr. Wallace. His writings on the biblical textual issue in particular have caused my mind to be stirred and my spirit to be awakened to the living reality of the New Testament.

His grammar is only slightly less exciting than that - and that's MY fault, not his. Wallace gives many examples that make his book relevant, contemporary, and accurate. Given how difficult it really is to understand some of the Greek volumes - just read A.T. Robertson - this one never fails to make its case easier to understand.

Thank you, sir.

Is it a grammar or an Evangelical apology ?
Please do not misunderstand the provocative title of my comment: I am not saying that this book is worthless and that you should avoid buying it.

On the contrary, I think that Wallace's grammar is an invaluable work worth every dollar you spend for it. First of all, unlike other grammars, this one is as thrilling as a detective novel. Of course, unless you are deeply interested in NT exegesis, you will probably find Wallace's huge treatise anything but gripping. But if like me you are an impassioned reader of the Gospel and its original text, you will surely love this book.And the good news is that it is not for advanced learners of koine Greek only. In fact I started using it with minimal knowledge of Greek and I have little doubt that a complete stranger to the language of Luke and Paul could also glean immensely useful information from its pages provided he be a serious student of the Scriptures.

Having said that I must warn potential buyers and readers that Wallace is not an objective grammarian and linguist at all. Unlike a real scientist, he does not put aside his own religious and philosophical convictions aside and look at the NT dispassionately. What he does almost sistematically is to advance his own Protestant views of Christ and atonement and other crucial points with the help of Greek grammar. Fortunately, he does state the opinion of scholars who disagree with him but he gives them minimal space. Most of the time he does not even quote them!

A perfect example of Wallace's bias is the discussion on the use of the prepositions "uper" and "anti" in relation to the question of atonement. He mentions the fact that W.Bauer translates these prepositions by "on behalf of" rather thanby "instead of" but he does not illustrate or expatiate on Bauer's point of view. Instead the reader is presented with several pages of arguments in favor of his own opinion, so that the naive reader may end up thinking that the translation favored by respected scholars like Bauer has no solid ground under it. And that is only one example among many, many others.

Of course, one could argue that many dubious points of Greek grammar simply cannot be cleared without a previous choice and that all exegesis must involve a certain amount of eisegesis. This may be true but Wallace really goes too far. Does he write for only for his small chapel? Aren't there Catholics and eastern Orthodox and Jews out there too?

Strangely enough this is a BCE(before common era)/CE(common era)book. Does Wallace not realize that these acronyms are basically anti-Christian and contribute to the secularization of our culture?

I say to all Christian authors: FOR GOD'S SAKE USE BC AND AD !!!

So my advice to you is: buy this grammar. But be sure to buy another one to know the two sides of the Biblical coin.

A necessity, but prepared to work!
This book may come as a shock to the student who turns to it fresh from first-year Greek.It is thick.It is dense.It is complicated.It is also cautious and tentative in places, pointing out that in some areas Greek grammar is either not fully understood or is undergoing re-examination.That last lesson may be worth the price of the book alone, if it brings about a proper attitude of humility in the exegete.

Although self-described as a textbook, it is difficult to read straight through.I prefer to graze short sections at a time to get acquainted with the layout and topics.Mainly I use it in conjunction with Scripture study by consulting the (very useful) index of keyed passages.The other indices, however, are cumbersome to use since the entries are not sufficiently subdivided -- you may have to turn to seven or eight pages before you find the information you need.

You haven't attained basic proficiency in NT Greek until you are broadly conversant with the subject matter of this book.Keep it next to your Greek Testament.

Should be read by every pastor, author, and teacher!
Daniel Wallace has a God given gift for knowledge and understanding of the New Testament. I have heard him in a debate and read many of his articles on his website. He seems to make the New Testament come alive.
The Grammar is divided up into different morphological forms [Nominative, Genitive, Aorist, Present, etc.] and the syntactical functions of each are discussed in great detail. Most helpful are the "Key to Identification" sections and the lists of clear examples.
I consult this grammar with great regularity along with A.T. Robertson and Blass-Debrunner-Funk. It is so wonderful to see someone like Daniel Wallace showing how to be careful with the biblical text. Through the notes on his examples, he shows how we can often times think that the meaning of a text is "obvious," yet we only think it is obvious because we are being careless about our interpretation. Wallace calls us, as interpreters of the New Testament, to accurately exegete the text on the basis of sound syntactical analysis. He says that the vast majority of students do not see the relevance of syntax in exegesis, and it is the task of this book to show this.

Again, highly recommended to anyone wanting to "rightly divide the word of truth." ... Read more
