Marc Huy’s Greek Grammar On The Web [Index] [Home]

http://perswww.kuleuven.ac.be/~u0013314/greekg/alphabet.htm

This site is sponsored by a Dutch scholar, Marc Huys, who teaches at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium). Dr. Huys has an extensive bibliography in ancient Greek, including an important papyrology finding (. . . “he managed to join an unpublished papyrus fragment acquired by the Brussels Royal Museums for Art and History with another fragment belonging to the Sorbonne collection. The joining of the two fragments permitted him to interpret the text as part of a Hellenistic elegy.”). Dr. Huys has compiled an extensive annotated list with his own evaluations of Greek resources on the Web divided into nine major areas (Greek Fonts, Introductory Courses, Elementary Training, Dictionaries and Lexica, Systematic Grammars, History of the Greek Language, Advanced Study, Reading Ancient Greek Texts, Other Online Resources). This site is an excellent resource for finding quality Greek material on the web. As a European scholar, Dr. Huys includes websites in other languages, such as German, French, and Dutch.

Michael Marlowe’s Bible Research Gateway [Index] [Home]

http://www.bible-researcher.com/links.html

Michael Marlowe is a free-lance writer and editor with an early Lutheran and current conservative Baptist heritage. He received an MA at Pittsburg Theological Seminary (Presbyterian) and has taught Bible classes in churches related to the history of the Bible, covering areas such as the transmission of the Greek text, the history of the canon, and the history of English versions. His gateway page is extensive, but with a conservative leaning. For example, he specifically lists at least three links to a defense of the Longer Ending of Mark (16:9–20), but provides no specific links for a defense of the shorter ending for a balanced counterpoint. Implicitly, this shorter-ending defense could be garnished from within some of the other materials in other links, but the quick, hyperlinked accessibility to those arguments is not provided with specific links.

Micheal Palmer’s Greek Language and Linguistics [Index] [Home]

http://greek-language.com/index.html

This well-organized and helpful gateway is hosted from Chapel Hill, NC and managed by Micheal Palmer.

He is author of Levels of Constituent Structure in New Testament Greek (Peter Lang, 1995).

Categories of the gateway include Bibliographies, Discussion Lists, History, Grammars, Lexical Aids, Manuscripts and Writing, Research, Search, Software and Databases, Survey, and Sites of Related Interests. You will find excellent, scholarly, and useful resources in these links to the study of Classical, Hellenistic, and Modern Greek with a general emphasis on linguistics.
