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
