Journal of New Testament Greek
The Journal of New Testament Greek is dedicated to the academic study and advancement of Koine Greek as the primary language of the New Testament. Our mission is to provide a rigorous, peer-reviewed platform for scholars, educators, and students to explore the linguistic, grammatical, lexical, syntactical, and stylistic features of the Greek New Testament in its historical, literary, and theological contexts.
We seek to promote excellence in New Testament Greek scholarship by encouraging interdisciplinary research, fostering dialogue among biblical scholars, linguists, and theologians, and supporting the teaching and learning of Koine Greek at all academic levels. Through the publication of high-quality articles, critical reviews, and fresh translations, we aim to deepen the global understanding of the New Testament’s original language and its significance for biblical interpretation, exegesis, and Christian faith.
