Students of biblical Greek and Hebrew may not know everything they need to know, but they do know there’s a lot they need to know! Whether studying for exams or translating passages of Scripture, students need critical information at their fingertips. Instead, it’s usually scattered throughout textbooks, self-made crib sheets, and sticky-notes on their computer monitor. Now there’s a better way! The Zondervan Get an A! Study Guides to Biblical Greek and Biblical Hebrew are handy, at-a-glance study aids ideal for last minute review, a quick overview of grammar, or as an aid in translation or sermon preparation. Each set contains four information-packed sheets that are laminated and three-hole-punched, making them both durable and portable. The study guides are tied to Zondervan’s Basics of Biblical Greek and Basics of Biblical Hebrew. Review: Useful for people who already know some Greek - 1. As I've noted in the headline, this is not a useful item for people who don't already have some preparation. It is the equivalent of a list of reminders you might write out for yourself, to prompt your memory of things you already have learned. A lot of it will make sense only if you have sufficient background to recognize what is being listed (for instance, if you have had enough Greek to know what "First and Second Declension Nouns" are, you will know what the list with that title is for; if not, not!). It's certainly not a sheet you'd find useful for faking your way through a Greek exam if you haven't been doing the work! 2. As the title indicates, this is for Biblical Greek, i.e. 1st century C.E. Some of the verb endings, for instance, are different from verb endings in Greek as it was written in the 400s B.C. Again, if you compare the sheet with, for instance, the conjugations you'll find in a typical Classical Greek textbook, you will find slight variations. 3. Related to the previous note is a reminder that the sheet is laminated. This means you can't make hand-written additions. On the other hand, I was pleasantly surprised when I received the sheet to realize it is a folded folio (i.e. four pages, not just the front and back of one sheet). When this sheet arrived, I was not at all disappointed, and I will find it very useful, but other people may have problems that it will not solve. I couldn't find on desertcart a sheet of more general usefulness such as the Quick Study Language Latin Grammar sheet, which is six pages and starts from a more basic and mainstream level (i.e. appropriate for study of the 'central' Latin texts such as Ovid, etc.). Review: Good Review - This chart is a very good review of the basics. I have used it several times since it arrived. Now, speaking about Delivery. Report says it was placed in my mailbox. Nope, didn't fit. This item and the Jewish New Testament Commentary were left on the ground outside my garage entry door. When my wife picked the package up, it was ripped the entire length of the package. Luckily no damage was done to the contents and both items were just fine. Luck? Or just bad attempt to stuff the package in a too small mailbox.

Very Helpful For Translations. Great Reference.
I got this in between my first and second semester of Beginning Greek. This sheet has all of the important information that I would often flip through Mounce to try and find. It's a great reference when doing translations too. You have noun case endings and personal verb endings and participle morphemes all in one place. Highly recommended to the beginning Greek student!

Excellent
This is a very useful reference card for any intermediate student of biblical Greek. It contains complete paradigms for all the important forms in a laminated 2-sheet folding format -- 8.5 x 11 inches. I think it is easier to use than any set of paradigms I have seen in any published grammar book.

Product as described shipping not
The product is as described but we were notified by Amazon the product had not shipped and we would not be charged. The next day we got an email saying it had shipped. Supposed to be delivered between the 8th and the 14, it arrived on the 16th. So if you are not in a hurry for the product they are fine, if you are dealing with a time specific item use caution.

Very useful to have in hand while preparing to teach and preach!
This is very helpful to me when using my other exegetical tools. I work with various Bible translations, an Interlinear Bible, various translations, Strongs' aids, Theological Dictionaries of both the OT and the NT, word studies, and commentaries to get a well rounded picture or the action in the Word of God. This helps me to physically keep track of where I am and to locate the particular words I am focusing on through the range of study aids I am using.

handy sheet with all essential items
I love this sheet! It comes in so handy when I'm doing my Greek homework. All of the basic information is on this sheet: the alphabet; paradigms for the article, pronouns, nouns; adjectives; noun rules; a diagram of prepositions; conjugations of the verb 'eimi' (to be); and lots of other information. No having to flip through pages to find the paradigm I'm looking for.
