Today I posted a review of a great book—A.F. Christidis' A History of Ancient Greek—over at Zondervan's Koinonia blog (here, if you want to read the post).



While this book is intended for language professionals, I mention it here because it implicitly tells a great story about the language God chose to be the bearer of his message to the world (the New Testament, as well as the Greek Old Testament). While all human languages have played a part in this, Greek is one of—if not the—most pivotal of all. You don't have to know Greek; but understanding the Bible better is a calling for all followers of Jesus. The more we learn about the past, the more we can teach accurately in the present and affect positively the future.
