Re: Guinea pigs

I would love to participate in this group. I'm currently teaching a class on Mark. But most of my teaching development of NT passages is based on the gospel of John.

Re: ἀπὸ ὁ...

In Revelation 1:4 it says, "χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ ὁ ὤν καὶ ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ἐρχόμενος..."

There are some Semitic Koine texts, like Joseph and Asenath, Maccabees (some written in Greek and some translated), early writings of the church fathers. There also some secular Koine texts s...

BTW, the new book, Advances in the Study of Greek: New Insights for Reading the New Testament , by Constantin R Campbell, Zondervan, 2015, has a chapter on Pronunciation (chapter 9. pp.192-208).
