Description

First published in 1965, The Elements of New Testament Greek has, over the years, established itself as the standard textbook for scholars and students of the Bible. The book is now reissued with a number of small revisions and additions, and a more substantial change concerning the recitation of the alphabet. Otherwise, the aim of this perennially popular book remains as before: to present the elements (and only the elements) of new Testament Greek as simply, clearly, and completely as possible, so that the student may be spared all unnecessary toil, and may make rapid progress in understanding the lingua franca of the Hellenistic world.

This was one of the first books I used to try and learn New Testament Greek and it remains one of my favourites. It seems to cover most of the fundamentals of the language in a well-structured way, proceeding at a sensible pace and providing enough (and clear enough) explanations to keep a beginner

satisfied without bogging them down in too much detail.

I believe that there have been earlier and more recent textbooks of the same name by other authors. I don't know how similar they are to Wenham's version.
