A Greek Primer: For Beginners in New Testament Greek
by Wallace N. (Wallace Nelson) Stearns
About the author
Born in 1866, Wallace Nelson Stearns was an American writer and scholar whose work centered on religion, biblical languages, and history. Library and public-domain records connect him with books such as A Greek Primer: For Beginners in New Testament Greek, A Primer of Hebrew History, and Fragments from Graeco-Jewish Writers.
His writing suggests a teacher’s instinct: instead of aiming only at specialists, he often explained complex material in a practical, readable way. That makes his work especially appealing to readers interested in how biblical study was introduced to students and general audiences in the early 20th century.
Available records also indicate that he died in 1934. While a full modern biographical profile is hard to reconstruct from the sources readily available online, his surviving books show a steady interest in making ancient languages, religious education, and historical scholarship more approachable.
