      KOINE NEW TESTAMENT GREEK

Come read the New Testament with us in the language it was early written & spoken.

We use an interlinear format read while exploring word roots & definitions, grammar and pronounciations.

There are 24 letters in the Greek alphabet; 7 vowel combinations called dipthongs, more than 7 double-consonant sounds, and breath marks that sound something like an h.

Greek is an inflected language. This means that the endings of words change to fit how they are used, and with their more exact meaning or application. Each root word (without its inflection suffix) is called a stem. Examining the word stems and endings is called declension.

Currently, we are beginning open translation of text fragments. Our study framework uses a review cycle, so that anyone can begin with us at any time.

Exploring Koine (common) Greek becomes like adding a third dimension with our understanding of New Testament text. Alongside the willingness of the Spirit of God to open His Word to our hearts and minds, the overall experience & growth is well-shared.
