… The Interlinear is primarily intended for all those who have had the opportunity to learn at least the rudiments of ancient Greek, but who have not been able to continue to practice it; their memory being revived, they will more easily rediscover all the richness of grammatical and lexicological analysis, with a view to a sermon, a collective or personal reading work.
The Interlinear then renews the effect of surprise and distance that the reading of the Greek New Testament provokes for the reader who discovers the new depth of a text whose frequent French usage has blunted the meanings. It opens up a wider range of possibilities of meaning, it gives rise to echoes…
… More specialized readers will in turn find not only an aid to memory, but also the opportunity to verify analyses, to refine the meaning and to project their own interpretation onto the text less quickly.
Finally, the reader who has never had the opportunity to learn biblical Greek will also be able to find… grammatical indications that he will use with caution; he will find at the lexicon level a first proposal of the meaning of words, necessarily already the result of a choice, but as open as possible, offering him a wider range of understanding. He will want to go further in his knowledge of the biblical language.
