Hello all, my name is Tom.
I am sixty-six years old, and grew up in Boston, MA. When I was young I was fascinated by the ancient Mediterranean world. I loved watching what became know as “sword and sandal” movies.
When I entered middle school I wanted to take French, but instead I was put into the Latin class. The poor woman who was a teacher was one of the most boring teachers I had. She put me off language learning for years. For the last two years I have been self studying French. I can read a newspaper with the aid of a dictionary, but my pronunciation is terrible.
I am just starting to teach myself New Testament Greek. I am an Antiochian Orthodox Christian. Speaking of pronunciation, all of the clergy I know learned NT Greek with a modern Greek pronunciation.
I have the following books:
- Learn New Testament Greek by John H. Dobson
- A Grammar for New Testament Greek by A.K.M. Adam
- A Student Handbook of Greek and English Grammar by Mondi and Corrigan
- NKJV Interlinear New Testament
- The New Oxford Annotated Bible with the Apocrypha
- The New Testament in the Original Greek - Byzantine Textform by Robinson and Pierpont
I have another list of books, including a lexicon, that want to burn a hole in my checking account.
All the best,
Tom
