Welcome to Elijah Wade's Koine Greek Adventures!

My aim with this blog is to keep up with my Koine Greek studies while digesting these studies with readers. I am well aware of the geekiness of this blog, but I am also convinced that it will be a helpful tool (at least for me). In personal study I suggest one makes use of a number of books, especially:

Kurt Aland's The Greek New Testament, Fourth Revised Edition
(C. H. Beck, Nördlingen, © 2001 Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, D-Stuttgart)
Bill Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar, Second Edition
(Zondervan, © 2003 by William D. Mounce)
Daniel Wallace's Greek Grammar: Beyond the Basics
(Zondervan, © 1996 by Daniel B. Wallace)
Metzger & Ehrman's The Text of the New Testament, Fourth Edition
(Oxford, © 2005 by Oxford University Press, Inc.)
Gordon Fee's New Testament Exegesis, Third Edition
(Westminster John Knox Press, © 2002 Gordon D. Fee)
Rahlfs & Hanhart's Septuaginta
(C. H. Beck, Nördlingen, © 2006 Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft)

We may also make use of these tools:
Ken Berding's Sing and Learn New Testament Greek
(Zondervan, © 2008 by Kenneth A. Berding)
L.C.L. Brenton's The Septuagint with Apocypha: Greek and English
(Zondervan, originally published by Samuel Bagster & Sons, London, © 1851)
Goodrich & Lukaszewski's A Reader's Greek New Testament
(Zondervan, © 2003 by Richard J. Goodrich and Albert L. Lukaszewski)
Bill Mounce's Interlinear for the Rest of Us
(Zondervan, © 2006 by William D. Mounce)

More tools might be added to our study along the way. When dealing with English translations we will look at several versions.

It is my desire to update this blog as often as possible, primarily following the format of Mounce & Wallace's Greek grammar books (the main texts that I used as an undergraduate). I am also hoping to regularly explore Koine Greek as to employ exegesis and demonstrate the relevance of our Greek studies in the lives of disciples of Jesus Christ. It must be noted that this blog itself is not meant to be a definitive study of the Koine Greek language (for a more definitive study, purchase and make use of the resources above).

Thank you for reading and I hope that this blog regularly proves to be an educational and insightful read.
