NASB/NIV Greek and English Interlinear New Testament

By: William D. Mounce, Robert H. Mounce
Zondervan / 2011 / Hardcover



Few years ago  I accidently stumbled upon YouTube bible study by Jim Brown called:   TextualCriticism - The Greek Text Cannot Be Translated  and decided to start learning Biblical Greek language. As you can see, if you want to watch his lectures,  Jim is fighting with a  lot of book, s lexicons and concordances, with parsing codes and dictionaries.  
Zondervan made all this in one valuable book : Greek and English Interlinear New Testament.
If  something is  valuable it must be in good package. How good package is, pictures can show.

The package / binding is Glued



and it is not going to last if you want to even moderately use this book.



The book is weakest on the first pages as you can see. This weakness becomes more expressive because the first few pages are the most important part of the book. Instructions on how to use this book and abbreviations. Abbreviations,which are for the first time user the most important thing, are placed on first page. And since you will turn to this page so often that it is going to be annoying for you and destructive to the book. 


These abbreviations should have been printed on the inside of the hardcover. The best solution to extend the life of this quite expensive book  is to copy or print them on separate sheet of paper like I did.
