Exploring the New Testament (NEW)

This is a new series of posts based on an introductory New Testament class that I teach. The posts will eventually cover topics like inspiration, inerrancy, formation of the canon, historical background, errors and contradictions, textual reliability, English translations, and an overview of the books from Matthew to Revelation.

Lessons: How to pronounce the Koine Greek alphabet

The resources on this site support the Foundations of Koine Greek course that I developed to teach local homeschool students. Foundations of Koine Greek is an introductory course that focuses on pronouncing and writing the Koine Greek alphabet and Greek words. The course also introduces basic Greek grammar concepts. It prepares the student for a beginning Biblical Greek course. Click here to see a list of the topics covered. The course teaches a reconstructed Koine pronunciation.

The course uses a Student Manual that includes lesson content and practice exercises for a 14 week self-study course. For a limited time you can download the entire Student Manual as a PDF file from the Free Course Downloads page.

This site provides audio and video resources that support the course. Students can hear the alphabet and vocabulary words pronounced, and view videos that supplement the lesson content in the Student Manual. There are also other resources for the enjoyment of learning Koine Greek. These audio and video resources are free for anyone to use without purchasing the Student Manual. Also check out the posts below.

I pray that these resources will help others begin the journey of learning the language that God used to reveal His story of salvation in the New Testament.
