UBS 5th Revised Greek New Testament Reader's Edition: 124377 (English and Greek Edition) Hardcover – January 1, 2014

This is a fine book for reading the NT with the Greek vocabulary on the same page to assist in learning Greek.

This is an excellent edition of the Greek New Testament. I have used several different printed formats of the GNT, and this is by far my favorite. A must have for those who want to read the Greek text regularly with minimal reliance on external helps.

The book arrived in perfect condition and appropriately packaged.

Very cleanly laid out. The pages feel as if they are of good quality paper. They are a hint on the see-through side, which is a bit disappointing, but by no means a deal breaker. Section headers and chapter titles are in English. Includes definitions of uncommon words on the bottom of each page, along with a common words glossary in the back. Also includes a couple of maps. Finally, it includes an attached ribbon bookmark similar to what you would expect in any Bible. Would buy again and would recommend.

I was really looking forward to the arrival of this version of the Greek New Testament when I ordered it and it didn't disappoint.Cosmetically, the material is great, sturdy hard cover, fairly strong binding, and thin pages.My only cosmetic complaint is likely a shipping and handling issue, that the spine is creased towards the top which was a bummer for me considering this was not cheap. (This is not my reason for deducting a star)As for content, this edition uses UBS 5 so it is up to date at the time of writing this. I own a Zondervan readers UBS 4 and it does not deviate much. My only gripe has to do with the footnotes. While I love the parsing and simplicity of the footnotes, as well as the added benefit of a small dictionary in the back, I do wish there would be more dictionary definitions in-text. Many of the words that appear footnoted in-text do not appear in the dictionary with multiple options for words, rather, you are given the lexical form, parsing information, and one english word to work with. Compared to my old Zondervan, that provided multiple options for translating, though it did not parse.I think what I am getting at is that reading is faster with this edition as you get the parsing information and keep going, but for long-form translating on paper, it does not leave as much wiggle room, so you may want to pair it with a good Koine Greek dictionary. But overall, very minor complaint and does not ruin the purchase.I fully recommend this text to anyone who is learning Koine or who wants an up-to-date and easy-to-read GNT!

Grab a copy while these are still printed in Germany vs China where the Crossway Reader is now printed. The paper is silky slightly off white, excellent print quality. I compared Mark 1.19-2.6 and this one has 46 footnotes vs 29 for the Crossway, which has a different system. The Surface Form Lemmas in Crosway is very useful. You'll want both. I'd rate this one a bit higher for my eyes as I like the off white paper and print quality., plus the vs. numbers are easier to see, I like the paragraphinng better, and subject headings.

Beautiful hard cover with great attention to detail

I recall a fellow Christian complaining that different translations of the Bible can differ, and he was a bit dismayed. This isn't to say though that modern translations don't necessarily do well. But to get closer to what Jesus said, the original Greek New Testament can be helpful. One time I needed to know for an article I was writing if what Jesus said, actually should be provided the present tense as in English translations. It would have been a great problem for me if I couldn't check the Greek New Testament then.
