 Excellent resource for the serious Bible student August 26, 2008
This volume is housed in the ESSENTIAL BOOKS section of my library.
There are several editions of the Interlinear NT, but I find this book to be one of the best.
When making comparisons between the English used and the Greek of the NT times, there are many ways that Greek expounds on key words with greater clarity and meaning not found in the English language.
This volume is a great INVESTMENT for the Bible student who desires to see and understand beyond the obvious.
greek helps March 11, 2008

It would be nice if all pastors and teachers knew Greek. But since they don't (or they know enough to be dangerous), this book is an essential tool. Specifically, we've all heard sermons where a word study was done on the wrong Greek word because the presenter did not use a tool like this Interlinear to discover the appropriate word in Greek. Mounce has now made this easier for "the rest of us." I highly recommend this book.

I do not like the use of the NIV with an interlinear, but Mounce does a good job. The only downfall is that I didn't realize the size it would be. I would prefer it to be thicker with more pages than the entire book being a thin notebook paper size book.

The quibble in Varner's comment about this work making everyone pretend they are Greek experts is directly addressed in the Preface of Mounce's book: "My prayer is also that you will not think you actually know Greek just because IRU parses the words. Learning a language is an art, one that takes a substantial commitment of time if it is to be done properly. But for those who are not able to spend the time, this text can help you to better understand the Word of God." And to that I say, "Amen."
The most important aid I receive from works such as this is precisely the overcoming of false assumptions that I KNOW "what the text means." All too often, a little digging - using works like Mounce's and Bruce Malina's reveals that my assumptions about the meaning of the plain (English) text on the page was in fact far from the mark. The more preachers and bible study leaders can avail themselves of these works the richer our understanding of Scripture will be.
