Interlinear Question

The Seminary library has three interlinears.

George Ricker Berry's using Stephen's Greek text with the textual apparatus.

Alfred Marshall's using Nestles Greek Text.

Jay P. Green's interlinear with no notes or apparatus at all.

We find Berry's to be most useful of the interlinears.

 

I own a copy of Berry's as well, and find it to be great.

 

I'm just starting in Greek, but I own Berry's and Green's. I prefer Green's mainly because the typography is much better/clearer. A nice bonus for someone at my level is the inclusion of Strong's numbers above each Greek word. This makes Green's a nice tool for everyone, no matter what their current level of Greek. Berry's does includes a (AFAIK) nice lexicon in the back, though.

Berry's is based on the 1550 Stephanus TR, while Green's is based on Scrivener's TR.

Get both

 

I own a copy of Berry's Interlinear. I like it a lot as well. It has a handy lexicon at the back which I use frequently.

I generally ignore the textual notes at the bottom.

Spiro Zodhiates has an interlinear based on the TR. I have heard about another Interlinear that is based on the UBS, but I have never utilized it. i believe that it is called McReynold's Word Study Interlinear. [ or something like that]

 

Berry's is a good handy book. The only bad thing is the darn font!! Zodhiates' edition is good as well with the main perk being the "parsing" of each form as well as translation.

 

i do wonder, though, if that pastor was dynamic or formal in his translation philosophy. did he go by "as literal as possible, as free as necessary" on word-order in strings such as:

"And it came to came to pass"

"God forbid"

"and the Word was God"

the hole seems to get deeper, n muddier, as it's dug

 

That must be Duane Onley. I don't think he is on staff at Heartland. I think he pastors in Greeley, Colorado.

Both of them are based on the best Greek text.

I check interlinears against The Analytical Greek New Testament's parsing tags. I have Berry's handy and Green's somewhere.

 

I use Berry's and also the NKJV interlinear translated by Farstad, Hodges, et. al. It is based on the MT.


In their own words, "The Majority Text is similar to the Textus Receptus, but it corrects those readings which have little or (occasionally) no support in the Greek manuscript tradition."

I like it because is has a good set of comparison notes between TR, MT and UBS, and because it has a third line for idiomatic translations, and I think it handles the participles well. Bob, you might like this as a happy medium between the TR and the "best text."

 

When I do use an interlinear I use the one published by Tyndale for the Greek. It uses the UBS4 corrected edition. It is the same text as Novum Testamentum Graece 26th edition.
The translators are Brown and Comfort. Douglas is the editor.

For the Hebrew I use Kohlenberger four volumes in one. The one I like best is "Analytical Key To The Old Testament by Owens and published by Baker. It gives the BDB page, translation, and parsing for each word. It is four volumes and is excellent. It uses the MT.

 

Sorry, but you seem to have misspelled "superior."
