This book arrived in a timely manner and was in good shape--exactly what we expected.
This has been a most helpful volume to me already; it is clearly done and not too advanced for a middle student of the language. If I have any criticism I would say that the index could be just a little more complete, but it is not bad. I find myself using the volume often with satisfaction. My background is engineering so I am unfamiliar with some of the literary vocabulary, but usually Wallace takes the trouble to explain terminology and that is a big plus.
This textbook is an extremely comprehensive treatment of the Greek grammar beyond the basics. A basic knowledge of Biblical Greek is required to get the most out this text book. It is highly recommended for all who are studying Biblical Greek and desire to get beyond the grammatical categories to see the revelance of syntax for exegesis.
It has been 36 years since I graduated from seminary and, now retired, I am trying to relearn Koine. In reviewing the advances in our understanding of etymology and syntax, I realize that some of the older texts I spent scarce money on years ago are simply not up to speed. Wallace's Inter.> Advanced grammar is a truly great text. I used to consider a grammar to be a reference work; I'm reading this thing like a novel! I own Dana&Mantey, BDF, Moulton (Prolegomena), and Burton; this work includes virtually everything in the sum of the others. I have also just ordered the "holy grail" of grammars: AT Robertson. I am very anxious to compare them. Even this early in my 2nd life with Greek, I can see that this grammar is a must-have.
I'm just finishing First Year Greek and find William Mounce's Basics Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar a real leap forward to the older beginning grammars. He gives adequate beginning definitions in that volume but gives regular references to the expanded treatments in Wallace's Intermediate Grammar Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics. Listed in a similar stye and expanding on Mounce's beginning treatments, it is the perfect segway into Intermediate or Second Year Greek. It also doubles as that USABLE reference that you will actually use on a regular basis as you are seeking to translate or resolve curiosities in the NT Greek text. Wallace really has forgotten more about Greek than most ever learn and we're all really glad he wrote it down! Great value, many improvements over older Grammars and lots of new research that ultimately makes the language easier to learn. Great service from Amazon and, again, I feel like I got great value.
