Biblical Greek Bundle

Nathan Parker

I have L5 Platinum. Would I benefit any from the Noet Biblical Greek Bundle? It's the main one I'd have interest in since I'll be getting an MDiv in Biblical Languages as soon as I graduate from Bible College.

Thanks!

The Noet Biblical Greek Bundle contains the following:

• Nestle-Aland 27th Edition Greek New Testament (Morphological Edition)
• Beginner’s Grammar of the Greek New Testament: Revised and Expanded by William Hersey Davis; David G. Shackelford
• A Short Grammar of the Greek New Testament, for Students Familiar with the Elements of Greek by Archibald Thomas Robertson
• Idioms of the Greek New Testament, 2nd ed. by Stanley E. Porter
• Liddell and Scott Greek–English Lexicon (LSJ) by H. G. Liddell and R. Scott
• The New Revised Standard Version Bible

You wouldn't need NA-27 because you've already got the more recent edition.

You've already got NRSV. So that leaves you with the other four books (assuming you haven't picked up any of those other titles along the way in addition to your Platinum). Sure, they'd all be useful to have since you'll be getting your MDiv in Biblical Languages. The question is, do you want to pay $159.95 for them (the cost of that Noet bundle) and have to wait until that bundle gets out of pre-pub, when you get get each of them individually and have them right now?

• Beginner’s Grammar of the Greek New Testament: Revised and Expanded ($32.40)
• A Short Grammar of the Greek New Testament, for Students Familiar with the Elements of Greek ($18.95)
• Idioms of the Greek New Testament, 2nd ed. ($43.95)
• Liddell and Scott Greek–English Lexicon (LSJ) ($135)

Total cost: $230.30

IMHO, it's worth it.  And that's how you do the cost/benefit analysis of these things. Well, you might want to also ask others whether the first three resources are ones they use all the time, but Liddell & Scott is the standout Greek-English Lexicon, so I'm pretty sure you'd want to have that eventually. Why not get a few other things thrown in for another 24.95?

Sounds good. I'll chat with my Logos sales rep about it all. Thanks!
