Anyone interested in Biblical greek will have heard of Robert Funk (of Blass-Debrunner-Funk fame). His highly recommended Grammar of Hellenistic Greek is being put online, here:
Funk's Beginning-Intermediate Grammar of Hellenistic Greek

So far the first 40 lessons are available, that's slightly more than halfway through the three volumes.

Too bad that wasn't around before the badly translated KJV came out.

I believe more Spirit led christians are starting to delve back into the original language of the Bible and hopefully, more and more ACCURATE translation will come out as a result and thus better INTERPRETATIONS. I still use the Old Young's LT to compare others with. This is also a nice handy quick reference.

John 5:39 "You search the Scriptures, for in themYOU think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.

hello, My name is Anna. I would love to get more insight into the Greek language in order to understand the NT more. I tried to take advantage of the link you gave but it said that I don't have a permission to use it. Could you help me get access to it in some other way? Maybe you could send it to my email address: anialussa@gmail.com
Also, I used to get newsletters from a Bible scholar teacher and preacher (Rick Renner) and he explained in them some Greek words and I was amazed how rich explanation he gave; on average I try to use some dictionaries or I use Blue letter Bible study tools which are available in the internet and they only give you a "dry" word explanation, its meaning. where can I learn what really hides behing a Greek word?
thank you for your help in advance
anna :-))

There's a sad tendency for English speakers to treat every other language as though it was some kind of inferior code for communicating English meaning. Starting from a Greek text, it is the English translation which is inferior!

Hi Trevor
Thanks for the link. Though I still believe that the best way to understand the Greek NT is to learn Spanish, German or French.


I thought these might be useful to anyone who wants to formally study Greek
