Review Quotes

These two volumes are recommended for anyone working with the text of the Fourth Gospel and the BHGNT series should be part of any academic library serving a biblical studies faculty.

--Stan Harstine "Religious Studies Review"

Novakovic provides a helpful and linguistically sound tool for aiding students in understanding the Greek text of John 1-10. It will be of particular value to post-beginner students, while features such as the glossary and the consistency in labeling basic syntactical functions means that the volume's usefulness extends to those who might use Greek in church contexts whose grammatical understanding may be less fresh than it once was."

--Christopher Seglenieks "Review of Biblical Literature"
