Dr Mounce did a fantastic job, but also it has helped my spiritual growth, staying out of being depressed (of not having a permanent job) and gives me a focus to start a day if I don't have work. God bless you Bill!

So helpful

[@xyzzyxxyz]

Very interesting. I learnt some Greek with the Open University, a UK institution setup in the late 60's early 70's . Pressurised to pass exams and to complete within their set time. It took the enjoyment out of it. Im onboard.

Hi there may I ask where can I find the book? Hard copy, I'm studying biblical Greek 1A and 1B at South African Theological Seminary so I need books on biblical languages, your videos are very helpful for me thanks. My teacher for Greek.

[@b.c.7741]

Thanks for the free video! I want to learn biblical greek so bad:) I love the Bible and Orthodox and want to read the original septuagint and also greek new testament. I'm doing this on my own for fun. I'm saving up to buy your books and buy greek bible, septuagint, lexicon, and maybe interlinear bible.

[@dennisg5639]

I am Byzantine Catholic and I am very interested in learning Biblical Greek to read the Church Fathers in their own language and of course the Septuagint Bible.

Published on March 22, 2019? Hmm...the day I retired! Wonder if that's a sign... :-) Hope I can follow along okay, since I'm using my copy of BBG, which is the first edition. Thank you for these videos.

Congratulations on the retirement.

So are you still studying the Greek? I'm thinking of starting for the 3rd time. I wish I had never stoped 10 years ago.

[@TheStrataminor]

@@beardedbiker333 LOL...but often the 3rd time sticks! I am back into now, and loving it! You can do it!!

I have the third edition, am I okay without getting the 4th edition? It's not for a course, I'm retired and taking it for my edification. Big differences?

[@BiblicalText]

I’d like to know this as well 😀

[@mikemontebo5354]

There are some changes, but nothing that would impact your study in any real way. Go with whatever you have access to.

Go to a Greek restaurant to taste Greek, better in Greece, one that has only a Greek menu. I just subscribed. Going to your web site after this.

3:00 thing one of the things that took place around this time though was that attic greek ended up breaking into kind of two strains it became standardized for the purpose of poetry and literature and this became the ingrained classical greek that we have today and then there was the regular greek the popular little greek that everybody on the street would just speak the classical greek the the attic greek that literary greek that was standardized which means it wasn't supposed to change it was a standardized set of sounds and forms that were supposed to be used consistently Koine Greek: What is it? Where did it come from? And who should learn it? **Join mewe/groups/Learn Biblical Greek Group ** for quizzes, discussion, history of how we got the NT

Though remembered primarily for his widely used commentary on the NT, Henry Alford (1810-71), dean of Canterbury and author of several well-known hymns (among them "Come, Ye Thankful People, Come" and "10k Times 10k"), deserves mention here as an ardent advocate of the critical principles formulated by those who, like Lachmann, had worked for the "demotion of the unworthy and pedantic reverence for the received text, which stood in the way of all chance of discovering the genuine word of God." *Bruce Metzger TNT* pg 174 *MeWe Learn Biblical Greek, Discussions, quizzes, TC history* 1970 Alumni Azusa Pacific University

[@raysalmon6566]

just a point of interest In *1734, Bengel* published at Tubingen an edition of the GNT in a handsome quarto volume. He did not venture to correct the traditional *Textus Receptus* in accordance with personal judgment but followed (except in 19 passages in the Book of Revelation) the self-imposed rule of not printing any reading that had not been previously published in an earlier printed edition *Bruce Metzger* TNT pg 159 MeWe Learn Biblical Greek, discussions, quizzes, TC history

If the autographs and all early copies were written entirely in unicals and miniscules were not even invented until the sixth century why are our NT references all written in miniscules and why do people learning Koine Greek even need to learn them?

[@zerosparky9510]

i will try. i am age 68 now and want to learn. still don,t know if i can do it. i want to learn though. as i saw 2 JW,s on my way home the other day. so i said to myself to go talk to them. they are out there to spread there twisted JW Bible. and this is not far from SBC in Lou.
