Product Description
New from the German Bible Society and Hendrickson Publishers The leading edition of the original text of the New Testament, this scholarly edition is designed for extensive research, textual criticism, and other academic studies. In keeping with the goals of serious and advanced New Testament scholars, the revised critical apparatus shows a nearly exhaustive list of variants but includes only the most significant witnesses for each variant. The Greek text has paragraph and section breaks. Cross references in the margins are extensive and include synoptic parallels. Five appendices offer in-depth information for further understanding of passages. The introduction appears in both English and German. Text, notes, and critical apparatus appear in a clear font throughout the volume. The text is also available with a Greek-English Dictionary by Barclay Newman. Larger in size but priced lower than the large print edition, this user-friendly Wide Margin Edition gives professors and students the opportunity to make notes in their Bible as they translate the New Testament.

Great product October 16, 2008
What can I say, it is a strait forward product but a very good one. I enjoy working from the Greek and this is a very good tool.
Completely Satisfied Customer October 15, 2008
This is my first purchase of any Greek Bible. I just started learning Greek and am taking a Greek class this Fall 2008. This version of the Greek Bible by Nestle-Aland has really helped me learn my alphabet, nouns, words, verbs and parsing. Also, the book itself is well structured physically with not-too-thin pages, strong spine and dark and legible print. My father is a pastor and also uses this Bible for his sermon preparations and studies. Thank you E. Nestle and B.& K. Aland!!
 A good edition, if hidebound April 28, 2008

This edition of the Greek New Testament has what I would call a "reasonable text," but not an "excellent text." While the text is about as good as can be expected when following the Aland school of textual criticism, other scholarly approaches (a label which automatically excludes the "Majority Text" and "Textus Receptus" approaches) are possible and in some cases more useful. (See, for example, the insightful article "Remarks of an Outsider about [several Greek lexica] and Their Textual Basis" in the book _Biblical Greek Language and Lexicography_, ed. Bernard A. Taylor et al.) It is the uncritical acceptance of this Aland school that has led to the gratuitous "grade inflation" noted between the 3rd and 4th editions of the UBS Greek NT, which has the same Greek text as the NA 27. The more you gaze at your own navel, it seems, the better it looks, even if it hasn't changed a bit over the years. This hidebound quality of the UBS-NA text has led to some referring to it, tongue-in-cheek, as "the new Textus Receptus."
The Greek font used in this edition (I have the large print one) is easy to read; I have no complaints about it. I find the font of the UBS 3rd edition more beautiful, but that is a matter of personal taste. However, the font used in the UBS 4th edition is criminally ugly and vertigo-inducing. You may need to get it for the critical apparatus, but you will this NA 27 or UBS 3 for continuous reading. (The UBS edition aims to highlight variants significant for translation, while the NA edition aims to cover a larger number of variants with a more complex apparatus.)
If you are a newcomer to New Testament Greek, avoid the UBS 4th edition for continuous reading. If you can, get a used copy of the 3rd edition, which has a beautiful font. Otherwise, get this Nestle-Aland 27th edition. And best wishes in your studies! It _is_ possible to learn to read the Greek New Testament well, so don't lose heart if the early going is rough.
German Bible Society does it again October 7, 2007

There is merit in the idea of having a pocket-sized Greek New Testament to tote around with you at all times. Yet, every serious student of the GNT should also consider purchasing this large-print or "Grosdruck" edition. For an office or home copy, you cannot do better. The large print, excellent font, and quality paper make it comfortable to sit and read extended passages without eyestrain. The text-critical notes are also usably sized. Everything about this production speaks of dedication to quality on the part of the German Bible Society.
NA 27-always the best from Deutsche Gessellschaft June 7, 2007
7 out of 12 found this review helpful
The NA27 is exactly the same as the NA26, with one exception, the text is photo-mechanically enlarged. Like always the NA27 has scholia extensive enough to make a philologist drool. This edition has about a hundred pages in the back of minor variants! Highly reccomended over the USB, the American Bible Society is staffed with barbarians that can handle neither scholia nor a greek text without english section headings.
