I'm sure our illustrious leader will have others to add, but here are a few:

Lexica
     Baur, Danker, Arndt and Gingrich _A Greek-English Lexicon of the New 
Testament and Other Early Christian Literature_
             THIS IS THE SINE QUA NON.  Accept no substitutes.
      Liddell, Scott, Jones.  _A Greek-English Lexicon_ .  Geared more toward 
classical Greek but still valuable.
      Moulton and Milligan.  _Vocabulary of the Greek New Testament_.  Contains 
examples of usage current at the time of the NT
      Deissmann.  _Light from the Ancient East_; _Biblical Studies_.  Sets forth 
much of what M & M have.

Grammars
      A. T. Robertson. _A Grammar of the Greek New Testament in the Light of 
Historical Research_.  Huge -- "It's in there." Dated.
      Moulton-Howard-Turner _A Grammar of the Greek New Testament (4 vols).  
Different authors, ergo different approaches.
      Burton. _Syntax of the Moods and Tenses in New Testament Greek_
      C.F.D. Moule.  _Idiom Book of New Testament Greek_.  Don't be fooled; it's 
a grammar.  Some surprising material.
      Runge.  _A Discourse Grammar of the Greek New Testament_.  New, 
interesting approach.
      Wallace.  _Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics_  Many distinctions--some 
questionable.
      Smyth. _Greek Grammar_ Oriented toward classical but extremely useful.

Nestle-Aland 27th edition.  AVOID INTERLINEARS !!!
Only use an analytical as a last resort and wean yourself off it as quickly as 
possible.

Subject: [B-Greek] Authorities

Being a beginner student, I am curious as to which resources would be considered 
authoritative in my study of Greek.  Is there a list of works that have 
withstood the test of time and are thus considered invaluable in one's study of 
N. T. Greek?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Mark Trzasko
