Koine Greek: Encyclopedia II - Koine Greek - Sources of Koine

The first scholars who studied Koine, both in Alexandrian and contemporary times, were classicists whose prototype had been the literary Attic language of the Classic period, and would frown upon on any other kind of Hellenic speech. Koine Greek was therefore considered a decayed form of Greek that was not worthy of attention. The reconsideration on the historical and linguistic importance of Koine Greek began only in the early 19th century, where renowned scholars conducted series of studies on the evolution of Koine throughout the entire H ...

Koine Greek: Encyclopedia - Biblical canon

The Biblical canon is an exclusive list of books written during the formative period of the Jewish or Christian faiths; the leaders of these communities believed these books to be inspired by God or to express the authoritative history of the relationship between God and his people (although there may have been secondary considerations as well). There are differences between Christians and Jews, as well as between different Christian traditions, over which books meet the standards for canonization. The different criteria for, and the process of, canonization for each community dictates what ...

Koine Greek: Encyclopedia II - Ancient Greek phonology - Vowels

Attic Greek phonemicaly contrasted long and short vowels. The vowel inventory of Attic Greek, as reconstructed, contained five short and seven long vowels as distinct phonemes.

Koine Greek: Encyclopedia - Septuagint

The Septuagint (LXX) is the name commonly given in the West to the Koine Greek Alexandrine text of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh/Old Testament) produced some time between the third to first century BC. The Septuagint Bible includes additional books of the old Jewish canon beyond those contained in the Hebrew Bible, including the books of the Maccabees, much beloved and revered by Jews today. These additional books were composed in Greek with small portions in Aramaic, and in most cases only the Greek version has survived to the present. Th ...

Koine Greek: Encyclopedia - Tertullian

Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus, anglicized as Tertullian, (ca. 155–230) was a church leader and prolific author during the early years of Christianity. He was born, lived, and died in Carthage, in what is today Tunisia.

Koine Greek: Encyclopedia - Bible

The Bible (sometimes The Holy Bible, The Book, Good Book, Word of God, The Word, or Scripture), from Greek (τα) βιβλια, (ta) biblia, "(the) books", is the classical name for the Hebrew Bible of Judaism or the combination of the Old Testament and New Testament of Christianity ("The Bible" actually refers to at least two different Bibles). It is thus applied to sacred scriptures. Many Christian English speakers refer to the Christian Bible as "the good book" (Gospel means " ...

Koine Greek: Encyclopedia - Bill Gothard

Bill Gothard (born November 2, 1934) is a Christian conference speaker and founder of the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP), based in Oak Brook, Illinois. His conferences focus on family relationships, specializing in "youth conflicts" (the organization was previously known as "Institute in Basic Youth Conflicts"). His solution is a conservative, some argue ultraconservative, view of family life. Critics of Gothard and IBLP believe that it is authoritarian and legalistic in nature, and that Gothard (when dealing ...

Koine Greek: Encyclopedia - Ancient Greek

The Ancient era of Greek history normally includes also the Hellenistic (post-Classic) age; however, that period formally composes its own stage in the Greek Language known as Hellenistic Greek.

Koine Greek: Encyclopedia - Evangelism

Evangelism is the preaching of the Christian Gospel or, by extension, any other form of preaching or proselytizing. The word evangelist comes from the Koine Greek word εὐάγγελος ("eu-angelos"), meaning bringer of good news. The Koine expression for good news, εὐάγγελιον ("eu-angelion") is used to refer to the four Gospels in the New Testament; and thus the Evangelists are also the authors of the four Gospels -- traditionally known as Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Koine Greek: Encyclopedia - Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible is a term that refers to the common portions of the Jewish and Christian canons. Its use is favored by most academic Biblical scholars as a neutral term that is preferred in academic writing both to "Old Testament" (which alludes to the Christian doctrine of supersessionism) and to "Tanakh" (an acronym used commonly by Jews but unfamiliar to many English speakers). For instance, see section 4.3 on page 17 of The SBL Handbook of Style by the Society of Biblical Literature. "Hebrew" in "Hebrew Bible" may refer ...
