Koine Greek: What is it? Where did it come from? And who should learn it?

Koine Greek, sometimes referred to as biblical Greek is the language throughout the Greco-Roman world from around the time of Alexander the Great through to the division of the Roman Empire in the 4th century AD. Koine Greek is different to Classical Greek, and strictly speaking isn't quite Attic Greek, though there are overlaps. In this video, we'll answer the question, "what is koine Greek?" and consider some of its history and how it is different from other ancient Greek forms.

You'll find some of this information in Rodney Decker's Reading Koine Greek.
