Please recommend a Reader's GNT
I want to buy a Reader's Greek New Testament. There seem to be several available. I would prefer to just buy one. Any particular recommendations?

Lexical forms
I was interested to read in the below link some comments from learned individuals saying that it would be better to have the lexical turn as the aorist infinitive rather what we normally find of present active indicative 1S. But they don't say why. Why might the aorist infinitive be better? The gram...

Re: Struggling with Participles
Hello Emma and Jonathan! How very kind of you both! That is very generous. I have memorised all words that occur 50 times or more (according to Rodney Decker's Basic Greek Vocabulary list anyway).

Struggling with Participles
I'm really struggling to understand participles. I'm using Black's textbook along with Mounce but I'm really struggling to understand how they are used. I think what I need are lots of examples of them being used. I'm comfortable memorising forms but I am struggling to grasp how they are used. Can a...

Is there a 'present continuous tense'?
I once heard a preacher talk about Luke 11:9 and the exhortation to ask, seek and knock. I recall the preacher saying that these words were in the present continuous tense so we should 'keep asking' and 'keep seeking' and 'keep knocking'.
