B-GREEK is a mailing list for scholars and students of Biblical Greek. Our
main focus is upon understanding the Greek text of the Bible. Discussion
topics include scholarly study of the Greek Bible and related Jewish and
Christian Greek texts, tools for beginning and advanced students of
Biblical Greek such as textbooks, reference works, bibliography and
research tools, and linguistic topics such as morphology, lexicography,
syntax, and discourse analysis. B-Greek was established in 1992 by David
Marotta at the Center for Christian Study, an independent Christian
ministry at the University of Virginia. In 1998 the list changed its venue
to metalab at UNC-Chapel Hill after David asked to step down as list owner.
We are grateful to David for his vision of a forum where the Greek text and
language of the Bible are probed in ongoing conversation by an eclectic
group of beginning students and veteran teachers, lay persons and clergy,
conservatives and liberals, earnest inquirers and academic scholars
--equally committed to probing the Biblical text in the original Koine, and
jointly exploring the mysteries and probabilities of Biblical Greek
morphology and syntax.
Anyone interested in New Testament Studies is invited to subscribe, but
list-members will be assumed to have at least a working knowledge of
Biblical Greek. While "lurkers" are welcome to receive and read list
correspondence, posts to the list are expected to pose questions about
Biblical Greek, not general questions or opinions about doctrine or
the meaning of the English text. Even basic questions are welcome,
provided they are really about the meaning of the Greek text. This is
not a general discussion list for Biblical matters. While one need not
be a Greek scholar to subscribe, one should at least be taking the first
serious steps in the study of Biblical Greek.
New subscribers to the List are asked to read carefully and abide
by the list's protocols set forth in the FAQ at the list's Home Page,
