One of the recent changes in The New Testament Gateway is the expansion and restructuring of the Greek New Testament Gateway. You should now find this sub-directory easier to use and faster to download. It should also now produce more precisely pinpointed search results. The first three of this month's featured links are to new resources found on Greek New Testament Gateway. The fourth featured link, Synoptic-L's On-Line Seminar with John Kloppenborg Verbin, has recently been added to the newly expanded Synoptic Problem and Q sub-directory.
New Testament Greek Drill and Practice Page
At the "Song of the Lamb" web site (author not given). This is an excellent site for students featuring "drills" on Vocabulary, Nouns and the verbal paradigm luw. It is keyed to Basics of Biblical Greek, by William D. Mounce and is an enjoyable way of revising some of the basics.
