An Introduction to New Testament Greek
The New Testament was written in koine (common) Greek, the language most widely spoken around the shores of the Mediterranean from ca 300 BC to 300 AD.
The aim of this course is to introduce students to the reading of the New Testament in its original language. This is a beginners’ course for which no prior knowledge of Greek is required. The linguistic material upon which the learning of the language is built is drawn exclusively from New Testament sources, always placed in their context in order to provide a sound critical introduction to the historical and linguistic aspects of the New Testament itself.
