Product Description
While the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece is designed for scholarly research, the Greek New Testament, 4th Revised Edition is designed for translators and students. Like NA27, this is the leading edition of the original text of the New Testament. It contains the same Greek text as NA27, differing only in some details of punctuation and paragraphing. The format of UBS4 is in several respects more user-friendly for students and translators than NA27. It has a more spacious appearance and a larger font. English sub-headings assist in navigating the text for those who may be less familiar with Greek. Old Testament quotations appear in easily recognizable bold font. Synoptic parallels are clearly listed under English headings. The critical apparatus includes exegetically significant variants (fewer than NA27) but adds extensive manuscript evidence (more than NA27) for each variant, thereby offering in-depth instruction for students on how variants and the evidence for them work together. An introduction in English is included and an optional Concise Greek-English Dictionary of the New Testament by Barclay Newman is available.

 Great Communication from Seller October 24, 2008
Volume was just as described, except for a mislisting by Amazon (is not the edition with the dictionary). Seller corrected this and offered to cancel the transaction. But through that communication, I found that this edition would also be helpful, and now I have both. Good deal all around!
 No Dictionary in Back October 23, 2008
This edition of the Greek New Testament does not have a small Greek to English dictionary in the back as some other's do.

Ah yes grasshopper. You have arrived. This is the one that you want. Dictionary included, you can slack on your memorization just a little because this concise tool is just at your fingertips. The work is well done and finely polished.
Greek Review May 27, 2008
The book came looking brand new. It seemed like it was never used. Great price and came quite quickly.
UBS4 April 29, 2008
This book is a nice size. Very compact, only an inch thick, very easy to carry around.
I just started learning Greek, I read some of the other reviews, one guy was complaining about the font. Well, I think the font is beautiful. But I'm not a scholar, so I don't know how it compares to the other editions. To me, since it's my first Greek bible, I like the font they chose, which is the SuperGreek, and SSuperGreek. Looks good to me.
It has all the breathing marks, punctuations, accent's, bold lettering for old testament quotes, maps, english headings, and alternative renderings of the text on the bottom of the pages. I think they should have Jesus words in red, that would've been tight.
I can see the typeset just fine. it's the same size as any other average bible, the type that is. You can easily distinguish between upsilon, and nu. Even though this book is 931 pages, you wouldn't think so by the size of it.
I have the burgandy hardcover edition. The front and back hard cover's are very thin, just as thin as the bonded leather covers of a regular bible, but not naturally bendable. With a regular bonded leather bible, if you bend the cover, you can easily smooth it back out, with the Greak New Testament hard cover, if you bend the cover, your gonna have a permanent fold. The pages are the same as bible pages, minus the gold outlining.
I love this little bible. Even though I'm just learning Greek, I would recommend you buy one, and practice reading it, and pronouncing the words if you're learning like me. And when you finish your Greek course study, you will already have it handy.
Jesus is God.
