Mark:
 
You'll get a wide variety of recommendations from the list. I am partial to Daniel Wallace's Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics, although others may recommend other syntaxes.
 
As far as the Apostolic Fathers go, I would recommend: 
 
The Apostolic Fathers: Greek Texts and English Translations of Their Writings (Hardcover) 
by J. B. Lightfoot (Translator), J. R. Harmer (Translator), Michael W. Holmes (Editor) ISBN: 0801056764 
 
or The Apostolic Fathers: Greek Texts and English Translations (Paperback) by Michael W. Holmes (Editor) Revised Edition ISBN: 0801022258 
 
or Bart Ehrman's two volume set in the Loeb Classical Library ISBN:0674996070, ISBN: 0674996089 
 
or Kirsopp Lake's older version in the Loeb Classical Library ISBN: 0674990285 , ISBN: 0674990277 
 
or Lightfoot and Harmer's work from 1891 ISBN: 0766164985 
 
My preference wwould be Ehrman's work, or Holmes, revised edition depending on how much money you have to spend

Subject: [B-Greek] Introduction, post-Wenham and the Greek fathers


Hi Everyone,
I would just like to introduce myself; I am Mark Rosbotham from Perth, 
Western Australia.  I have subscribed to the b-greek list a couple of times 
before, but this is the first time I have posted to it.  My question is in 
relation to the best book/s for further study.  I have been studying Greek, 
on and off, now for a few years.  My main text was Wenham's 'The Elements of 
New Testament Greek', which I have been through a couple of times.  My main 
NT reading texts are Nestle-Aland's Novum Testamentum Graece Ed. XXVII and a 
Textus Receptus based on Beza's 1598 edition, which I wade throught with the 
aid of Kubo's '...Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament'.  What I would 
like to do is remain within the context of Wenham's 'Elements', but take 
these fundamentals to the next level.  'The Elements of New Testament Greek' 
has some suggested reading at the back; however, it is always good to get a 
second opinion, especially from experts.

My second question is in relation to works written by the Greek fathers.  
Can anyone recommend a publisher or even an outlet who produces or sells 
texts by the greek fathers; with notes would be great, especially if 
combined with parallel translation.

Thank you.

Regards,
Mark
