This book is a practical and lively introduction to Koine, the Greek language of the first century A.D., in which the New Testament was written. The book is divided into a series of graded lessons and exercises in which the student is progressively introduced to the grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structures of the language. It is designed both for the ordinary reader and the theology student as an invaluable and enjoyable aid to a deeper understanding of the Scriptures. --back cover.
