In answer to your second question, Brian, I happened to be reading Wallace's
grammar last evening; he claims that Greek has changed less in the last two
thousand years than English has since Shakespeare's time. According to him
and others, Modern is much more similar to Koine than Koine is to Classical.

		Are there any recordings available of how the Greek New
Testament sounds
		like as read by a modern-day Greek person, or in a Greek
Orthodox church
		(would the two be the same, or different?)

		Another question, which I know would be hard to quantify,
but how hard is
		it for a modern Greek to read the GNT?  Is it to them
(roughly) as
		Shakespeare is to us, or as Chaucer is to us, or as Beowulf
is to us?
