In Beginning with New Testament Greek Companion Reader, Daniel Stevens provides first-year Greek students with carefully curated reading material drawn from the New Testament and Septuagint, keyed lesson-by-lesson to Benjamin L. Merkle and Robert L. Plummer's widely used introductory grammar.

Learning to read Greek requires more than grammar memorization — it requires practice with real biblical texts. Stevens bridges the gap between basic grammatical instruction and fluent exegesis by immersing students in actual Greek prose at the very moment they are acquiring each new grammatical concept.

The reader is organized into 23 reading units, each corresponding to a chapter of Beginning with New Testament Greek. Each unit offers:

• Carefully selected New Testament and Septuagint prose passages

• Graduated complexity calibrated to the grammar concepts introduced in each lesson

• Exposure to multiple prose genres across both the New Testament and the Septuagint

A Reader for Beginning with New Testament Greek is designed for use alongside Merkle and Plummer's textbook in first-year Greek courses. Independent students of Greek will also benefit from this tool as they seek to deepen their reading of scripture beyond the classroom. Stevens's reader gives students the one thing no grammar alone can provide: sustained, structured encounter with the Greek text of Scripture.
