How to Read the Greek New Testament (Gospel Advocate Classics) Guy N. Woods

"Guy N. Woods believed that not everyone had the time or the inclination to become scholars, but that everyone could be scholarly. 'How to Read the Greek New Testament" was primarily written for those who are unacquainted with the Greek language but wish to read and study the New Testament in its original form.

"Woods stated: 'An average student, possessing only an elementary knowledge of English, with a few days of careful study of the system herein taught, may make his own translation from the language in which the New Testament was written into his own tongue. Aside from the study of the New Testament itself, no exercise enriches the mind, stirs the heart, and increases the efficiency of the teacher or preacher of God's Word so much as does the diligent and daily search of the language in which the Holy Spirit gave the message of life and salvation to the world.'

"Woods wrote this expanded version of an earlier publication, 'How to Use the Greek New Tesatment,' in 1978. Woods was well known for his knowledge of Scripture, his frequent gospel meetings and his skills in forensics. After retiring as editor of the Gospel Advocate magazine, he remained on staff until his death in 1993."
