To: Warren Fulton,

<< . If the goal is fluency, why cut off 99% of the authentic opportunities 
existing today to hear and speak Koine Greek? The language of the NT is 
sung, recited, read aloud, and used in dialogue in the Orthodox Church. Its 
closest living relative, Modern Greek, is another eminently accessible 
vehicle to practice fluency. >>

You seem to be suggesting that one should just go ahead and learn modern 
Greek, or do I misunderstand you?

Does anyone sell audio tapes of the NT as would be read by the Orthodox 
Greek Church? Would this be the same as a modern Greek pronunciation? Does 
anyone sell tapes of classical authors with a modern Greek pronunciation?

FWIW: I'm neither a clergy-person, nor an academic (and I have no post-grad 
degrees).
