Illustrated Matthew in Greek

The Illustrated Biblical Texts (GIBT) series provides innovative resources that allow readers of biblical and other languages to have a more embodied and engaging experience with Scripture. This present volume embeds Greek narrative, monologue, and dialogue of Matthew's Gospel within colorful illustrations. Pairing the Greek text of Matthew with artistic renderings is of great value. This allows the text to be contextualized (and remembered) in a way that words standing on the page alone simply cannot do. Along with the Greek text, a new English translation is conveniently located at the bottom of each page. This translation is fresh and also fairly literal, attempting to preserve word order significance and accurately represent the important features of the Greek text that are more emphasized and, therefore, more prominent. All of this was intended for the beginning Greek student in mind, who may need help grasping Greek word meanings and understanding the significance of special con- structions like direct discourse, tense usage, and participles.
