While I use the reconstructed Attic pronunciation for reading Attic Greek
(but with stress accents rather than the pitch accents that would have been
used at that time), I strongly prefer Modern Greek pronunciation for the
New Testament material. This is a matter of personal preference, but the
Modern pronunciation sounds much more natural to me than any other for the
koine material.
