be
Greek scholars but are only hoping to gain some basic proficiency in
reading the NT Greek text really need to learn books like Carson's. As I
said, Carson couldn't convince me in his own book to buy it. At $9 or
$10
it's almost cost-free, so the price is not what's putting me off. . . .»
And lest Mr. Weiss miss the point of my response, I believe that there
are reasons why some students remain "little Greeks."
