What is a Reverse Interlinear?

"Reverse Interlinear" is a phrase coined by Bill Mounce when he developed a new type of interlinear. Previously, all interlinears followed Greek word order and altered the English. But since most people using interlinears do not benefit from seeing the Greek word order, he switch priorities and altered the Greek to match the English. The phrase has been picked up industry-wide.

The Interlinear for the Rest of Us

While other interlinear Bibles assume that you know Greek. Interlinear for the Rest of Us assumes that you don’t, or that you’ve forgotten much of what you once knew. Designed for busy pastors, Sunday school teachers, and anyone who wants a practical tool for studying the Scriptures, this interlinear makes reading easy by flip-flopping the usual order of appearance. It uses the English text as the main text rather than the Greek, so there is absolutely no confusion about the meaning of what you’re reading. Discover the Greek words behind the English translation. Conduct your own word studies using Greek word study books---without knowing Greek.
