These are the books to buy (links included)!

Do you have a loved one learning Greek in prison? So many inmates in prison want to learn Greek, but for the average inmate who makes $0.08 an hour, $80 for text books is very difficult. Most inmates depend on the generosity of people “on the outside”.

Here are the textbooks we use in our course. Even if your loved one doesn’t have access to our courses at their institutions these are the most popular books for Greek at most Christian colleges and universities. These text books are the same for both Greek 1 and Greek 2. Sometimes you can get deals on these, but usually you’re paying about $80 for all three.

This textbook sells for $15 on Amazon. Although there are more updated editions, they sell for more and this third edition is the one we use for our course so you get it for less and it will work best! It is only available in hardcover.

This workbook sells for $15 on Amazon. It is probably the most important book for the course. It is book of homework exercises to apply what the student is learning. If you’re only getting one book, this might be the better option, though you may want to ask your loved one first.

This Greek New Testament usually sells for $40 on Amazon. Not every student will be ready to jump into this Bible right away so if you’re tight on money, maybe this is the last book you buy. It’s recommended because it has vocabulary definitions on every page so it’s perfect for a Greek student just learning the language. It only comes in soft cover.
