New Testament Greek, also known as Koine Greek, was the lingua franca of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Near East from the time of Alexander the Great until the Byzantine Empire. It is the dialect in which the New Testament of the Christian Bible was originally written. This form of Greek, simpler in grammar and vocabulary compared to Classical Greek, emerged as a common language that facilitated communication across diverse regions and cultures. Its development was influenced by the conquests of Alexander the Great, which spread Greek culture and language throughout his empire. New Testament Greek is essential for biblical studies, as understanding its nuances allows for more accurate interpretations of the Christian scriptures.
