Only a relatively recent grammar will provide the sort of overview and evaluation that you are requesting.


"Koine," "hellenistic," and "biblical" Greek are essentially synonymous. There are precious few non-biblical koine grammars that I'm aware of, so it depends on what grammar you have. Those intermediate grammars that I listed would be well worth owning. For biblical studies, I'd prefer Wallace and Porter, with Young a close third. There are other major grammars (Robertson, BDF, Moulton, etc.), but they are somewhat dated (though still serviceable for many purposes).
