Read the
Greek New Testament
devotionally

Imagine this: 

On a warm, sunny morning, you sit down to read your Greek New Testament with a cup of coffee (or tea if you prefer…). 

No translations, no interlinears, no lexicons, and without dependency on Logos Bible Software, or some other tool. 

It’s just you and your Greek New Testament – and you’re able to read and understand it!

The New Testament is fresh.

The words have more meaning and depth because you’re reading more carefully and you finally understand how the original language works.

You’re growing in confidence not only with Greek, but also in your understanding of scripture as you gain clarity as you read. 

What once seemed so distant by comparison is now alive in your hand and you’re able to read it for yourself, interact with serious biblical scholarship, and analyze biblical thinking in ways you never imagined!

Study the
Greek New Testament
confidently

Use the latest technical commentaries and understand the grammatical arguments they present.

No more back and forth not knowing who is right. 

Being able to read and study the Greek New Testament ensures that you can evaluate the arguments and come to your own conclusions.

I just finished reading 1 John in Milestone 1, and wow, it really feels like the hard work is paying off. One thing in the last section that was fascinating is the textual variant in 1 John 5:18 and the whole discussion around it. It is great to be able to form my own opinion on it instead of having to blindly trust what some scholars say.

Here's 4 Ways That Learning Greek Benefits You:

When you read your New Testament in Greek… 

1. You’ll have greater clarity about what the writers of the New Testament books have communicated. As one of our members put it, “I feel like I’m getting to know the authors.”

2. You’ll have greater confidence in your understanding of scripture. You’ll understand the decisions that translators have wrestled with and be able to articulate exactly what the Greek says and means.

3. You’ll also see incredible gains in efficiency because you’re less dependent on the work of others. Instead of spending 10 hours in the commentaries, you spend a short time reading the text for yourself and then briefly consult the most advanced commentaries to make sure you’ve not missed any insights, saving hours of reading.

4. And best of all, you’ll have a richness, a vitality in your walk with Christ, a daily joy that is constantly growing deeper.

These results aren’t just for the elite. 

I’ve taught hundreds of people to read and study the Greek New Testament. 

I would consider it a privilege and delight to help you too!

Reading biblical Greek is not
only the work of
pastors and scholars.

I wanted to learn Greek, and ended up going to seminary. 

There I discovered that Seminary didn’t teach you to read and study the Greek New Testament, only to study it. 

I created the Greek Mastery Membership to help you learn how to read and study the Greek New Testament without depending on tools and software. 

I’ve created an entire systematic approach that anyone can follow, even if you have a job, family, and ministry commitments!

Biblical Mastery Academy

It starts with beginning Greek!

One Easy Lesson Per Week

Beginning Greek in Small Steps is designed for people with jobs, family, and ministry commitments

Everything in One Place

We provide the grammar, workbook, vocabulary, videos, live calls, and more!

Work at Your Pace

Self study, or join one of our comfortably paced cohorts with a group of others and experienced instructor

Live Calls + Replays

Our weekly live calls are a great way to ask questions and stay on track. Can't make the call? Watch the recording later!

Beginning Greek in Small Steps is our own tailor-made beginning Greek course designed for people with jobs, family, and ministry commitments so that you can take small, consistent steps to learn or review the basics at your own pace, or with a cohort.

Beginning Greek in Small Steps is broken into 5 parts, each containing 12 lessons. At the end of each of the 5 parts, we provide a review to help you cement what you’ve learned and provide you with confidence before you move forward.

Each lesson is designed to be comfortably completed in a week. Some lessons are designed to be combined. Others will take a little more work. 

When you learn beginning Greek with Biblical Mastery Academy we provide you with everything you need:

  • Downloadable, comprehensive explanations for every lesson
  • Up to date with the latest scholarship
  • Our comprehensive workbook you can print out at home or import to your tablet.
  • *NEW* Purchase a printed copy of the workbook in five parts as you progress (optional)
  • Vocabulary flashcards including the word in a sample verse from the New Testament
  • Flashcards to help you learn morphology and forms (i.e. paradigms)
  • Concept flashcards to remember what you need to know for each lesson
  • Thorough video explanations of each lesson
  • Additional bonus lessons to help you get the most from key resources
  • Use your web browser, or download our app!

Study at Your Pace or Join a Cohort

A cohort is simply a class that works together at a predetermined pace. Students, as always, are welcome to work at their own pace, but a cohort provides a consistent pace and a group of other students to work with, much as you would in a college or seminary environment. We’ve found this is a great motivator to maintain momentum and to benefit from the collective questions and challenges of the group as they interact with the material under the supervision and tutelage of an experienced instructor.

Each of the 5 parts of Beginning Greek in Small Steps start each quarter, making the progress consistent, and the loading comfortable so you complete each part with confidence.

But... it takes too long to learn Greek...

Yes, learning Greek will take time…  but learning Greek is not all or nothing.

Start now and in a couple of weeks you’ll be able to translate some simple Greek. 

From there, you will learn to read increasingly complex texts with growing understanding. A year from now, you will be able to read long sentences directly from scripture. 

Yes, learning Greek takes time and work, but so does the development of any worthwhile skill.

How long did it take you to learn to read English? Did you read English after a year like you read it now? Of course not. You’ve developed the skills to read and honed them over years. 

That’s exactly how it works when you learn New Testament Greek!

But as an adult, you have some advantages. You’ve got amazing cognitive capability you didn’t have when you learned your first language, which means you’ll learn faster.

We’ll provide you with the step-by-step instructions and exercises to fast track the process of learning Greek.

I’ve done it with hundreds of others, and I am delighted to help you too!

"I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this in-house developed BMA course in terms of pace, content, and format."

I don't think Mounce had been bettered until Darryl's Small Step process. Darryl's course includes more essential detail, and also, where there is extra detail, it is to remove the confusion present in other Beginning Greek grammars.

I learned Greek in seminary and found it so hard that every day after class, I'd go back to my room and cry, and tell the Lord that I couldn't do this. Then I discovered Biblical Mastery Academy and now I just finished beginning Greek and I love Greek!
Noel Ojendiz
Greek Mastery Member
This membership has given me a strong foundation in both the vocab and syntax of the Greek through an affordable, easily accessible means of learning from the comforts of home at my own pace. It's been super nice to work with as I'm working full-time, and it's given me exactly what I wanted--being able to read Scripture in its original language! I love it!
Sheylah Bos
Greek Mastery Member
I am now able to read directly from many Greek texts of the Bible without having to go back-and-forth using time consuming original language helps. Better however, is that the Greek Mastery Membership is not just a self study program. Darryl is personally involved in helping and encouraging all of us in the program to improve our Greek skills. Most important, this is the only program I've found since graduating from Seminary that has made it possible for me to maintain and grow in my mastery of the Greek text of the Bible.
Dennis Davies
Greek Mastery Member
I've long wanted to do away with my Greek reader's edition and read straight from the Greek New Testament with no other aids. However, I couldn't muster the discipline or put together an effective plan to cross that bridge. Biblical Mastery Academy is just what I needed. I love the program, and the milestones, and even the careful order of the books to keep students moving through the readings with as few roadblocks as possible. This is a great system, and I recommend it to anyone who is really serious about reading New Testament in its original language.
Ken Nunemaker
Greek Mastery Member

I've taught this system to Greek Mastery Members, and here's what they say:

My personal experience with the Greek Mastery Membership and interaction with Dr. Burling has been exceedingly positive in all respects.

After two years in the Greek Mastery Membership program my ability to read and comprehend the Greek texts has soared. Not only have I become fluent with many Greek texts but I’ve also gained clarity and confidence when it comes to preaching and teaching the Scriptures. Above all else, I’m getting to know my Saviour in a deeper way. So, if you’re committed to the task and joy of learning to read the Greek New Testament, this program will get you there!
Steven Pretsel
Greek Mastery Member
As a busy homeschool mom of four, I feel like if I can do this, anyone can. This program has offered the support, guidance, encouragement, and tools that I needed to successfully start and continue my knowledge of Greek.
Meg Smith
Greek Mastery Member
I learned Greek at Bible college back in 2004 but lost it all because of the busyness of ministry. Since then I've tried many different methods to relearn it but failed every time until I started on the Greek Mastery Membership. What I really like about the membership is:

1. Its system of learning is clear and systematic. It breaks things down into manageable steps, is easy to follow and you get to see your progress towards the goal of reading the entire GNT.

2. Darryl Burling is really knowledgable, friendly, helpful and he really wants you to be able to read the entire GNT

3.The Community - learning Greek in the courses together with other people who are passionate about the GNT really spurs me on.

Since joining the program I've regained all the Greek that I've lost since Bible college, am now able to read the GNT in my devotion and use it in my sermon prep. I am looking forward to be able to read the whole GNT.

Take a proven path to success with the Greek Mastery Membership

One of the biggest challenges of learning Greek is the sheer size of this task. 

That’s why we’ve broken the task into a series of smaller, bite-sized lessons that we’ve put into a structure, which we refer to as milestones.

These milestones walk you systematically through the entire journey from Beginner to Mastery.

As you can see in the picture, the books are in a specific order… 

That order is from easiest to hardest in terms of syntactical and lexical difficulty. 

In other words, you will be reading your way through the Greek New Testament from easiest book to hardest!

What’s more, you will learn vocabulary as you go – meaning that for every book you read, you will learn only the new vocabulary you need, building on your existing knowledge. 

I developed this approach to teach myself to read the Greek New Testament

I found this way more effective than learning vocabulary by occurrence, which was what we were required to do in seminary. 

While other students were picking through words, dependent on reader’s editions, I could read the whole book! 

Now I’ve transformed what I used into a systematic approach to mastering the entire Greek New Testament book-by-book from the easiest books to the hardest.

Collections of New Testament books are grouped into what I call Milestones…

Our Milestones are
the foundation of the
Greek Mastery Membership...

So you can make small, consistent steps toward mastery.

Every Milestone contains a number of New Testament books to read. Video lessons guide you through the grammar concepts of the reading of the week, and you get a weekly set of vocabulary words to learn. 

Our vocabulary acquisition program is the secret behind being able to read New Testament books with confidence and clarity. Greek Mastery Members have proven that this system is one of the most advantageous for those looking to quickly read a large volume New Testament books. 

Compared with other programs, ours boasts of a high reading volume in a relatively short time! 

Learning vocabulary in a strategic order makes all the difference. 

In the Greek Mastery Membership, we make it easy for you. We provide all the vocabulary in digital flashcards decks, compatible with an app which is available on Apple and Google app stores for a low, one-off fee. 

So far, nearly one thousand Biblical Mastery Academy members have had success with our vocabulary acquisition approach as it has helped them read confidently in Hebrew and Greek! 

Look at what Hilary, a Greek Mastery Member says about this vocabulary system… 

Nothing helps you to learn vocabulary better than to see it immediately in a text you are reading, and nothing helps you to read a text more easily than to have just learned the vocabulary you need for it! Biblical Mastery Academy is like the stabilisers on a training bike, giving support and confidence for the next stage in learning.

The Greek Mastery Membership offers so much more than just a curriculum.

Personal Support
in our Community Calls

When I created the Greek Mastery Membership, I didn’t want it to just be an “info-dump” with no personal support. 

I wanted to make sure members were achieving their goal of learning to read Greek. 

So now the membership exists in community where I and other instructors host weekly live calls! 

This allows members to have consistent support, wherever they are at with their Greek. 

Joining weekly calls = Huge growth in your Greek skills

Every week in our buzzing community we offer an Office Hours Call and two Text Reading Calls. 

These calls are an opportunity to check in, bring questions, and make progress with your skills. 

Our Community Calls include:

Greek Office Hours Call

An open call for anyone to join and bring any questions about Greek. Whatever you’re working through, use the Office Hours to interact with an instructor and discuss your current challenges. We alternate our office ours calls between these two times each week.

Greek Workshop Call

A call to discuss Greek text with a group and instructor. This call offers you the chance to sharpen your translation skills and grow in your knowledge of Greek through interaction with others following our monthly themes.

Replays are posted soon after calls end

The Community is also a great place to get support, 24/7!

The Community is where members chat, share, and help one another out.  

You’ll be able to ask any question in the community and get support from people further ahead than you. You’ll get fast responses because the members of this community love to serve and support each other. 

 This kind of support is invaluable. Being able to ask a question and have responses within minutes helps you grow so much faster than if you were studying alone!

As a member, you get access to an ever-growing curriculum of Greek courses...

To help you systematically learn the grammar and syntax of NT Greek!

One of the huge benefits of studying with a membership is that you don’t pay per course, and there’s no time pressure on when you have to complete courses by. 

As a member, you have access to any course you need, as you need it! 

We’re currently revising our intermediate courses, but here’s what we’ve offered in the past.

  • Beginning Greek in Small Steps

    Course Outcome: You can read 1 John in Greek, and you are proficient in Beginning Greek grammar.
    Course Length: ~47 weeks

  • Reading Greek

    Course Outcome: You can read John's 3 epistles and 4 of Paul's. Your grammar knowledge is expanding to match your reading abilities.
    Course Length: 10 weeks

  • Interpretation of Ephesians

    Course Outcome: Greater interpretation skills, and understanding of hermeneutics. Clarity in the text of Ephesians.
    Course Length: 14 weeks

  • Greek Syntax (Soon to be updated to Greek Exegesis)

    Course Outcome: Greater skill in reading, translating, and understanding of the intended meaning of the author. You're prepared for exegesis.
    Course Length: 15 weeks

We’re always adding more courses to this membership! 

In this way, the value of the membership is continually increasing – even though the price never goes up for existing members.

The Price?
Less than a third of Seminary.

The outcome?
Far Greater than Seminary!

Let me show you...

When I went to seminary, I paid $8621 USD (adjusted for inflation) for seven classes of Greek over 7 semesters. 

That included Beginning Greek, two semesters of Greek Exegesis, and then two more semesters of exegeting a few different NT books, and one class reading through the Church Fathers. 

But I was not taught how to read Greek (even in my Church Fathers class). 

I had to do a lot of self-directed work outside of my regular seminary studies to learn how to read. 

The Greek Mastery Membership makes this much more cost effective…

You could learn to read the whole Greek New Testament in 4 years.

The Greek Mastery Membership is just US$60/month, but when you commit to a year up front, you get one month free (total: US$660/year).

So, if you stayed in the Mastery Membership for four years, your grand total would be $2640. 

That’s just 30.07% of what I paid for only seven classes of seminary…

And for a far more thorough education in biblical Greek than I ever got!

Most of those who learn Greek in seminary forget what they’ve learned.

Our members continue to grow in confidence and capability in Greek, year after year. 

Is that what you want? To learn, to grow, to gain confidence with New Testament Greek?

If so, let’s get started!

This has been the most helpful program to keeping me consistent in learning greek since seminary. I had forgotten most of my greek, but the review got me back up to speed and the weekly vocabulary and readings give me a consistent schedule and path forward.

FAQ

Can I Cancel My Monthly Membership Any Time?

Yes, you can cancel your monthly membership at any point. When you cancel, you must acknowledge you will lose your current pricing. One of the benefits of being a member is that the price will never go up for you. 

Can I Pay Annually?

Yes, you can pay annually. When you pay annually, you get one month free each year! Giving you a free month is our way of saying thanks for your commitment! Just move the slider in the top right corner when you check out.

Will I Need To Buy Any Other Resources?

Yes, you will need two apps: ParseGreek and Flashcards Deluxe from the App Store or Google Play store. These are low-priced one time purchases.

Other than that, we provide you with all the written instructions, videos, exercises, vocabulary you’ll need, and more!

Note that support for Beginning Greek in Small Steps in ParseGreek is pending the next update and not something we have any control over. Thanks for your patience!

Do I Have To Start With Beginning Greek?

Not at all. The membership is designed to be flexible! If you’ve already learned Greek, you can start with another course that is more suited to your level, and you can access Beginning Greek to brush up on the basics. 

I'm Already Studying Greek. Will This Be Beneficial To Me?

If you are studying Greek in seminary or college, the Greek Mastery Membership can be a great way to go further than your academic course will take you. Many seminary students enrol with us to learn reading skills that they find are not being taught in their courses. 

If you’re self-studying, you will be surprised at how much faster you can learn with our complete systematic approach!

Why is this a membership?

There are several reasons why we offer a membership rather than just courses:

  1. We are invested (actually we’re obsessed) with your success
  2. Reduces your up-front costs
  3. Go further in your learning than just a course

We’re committed to a membership because it is the best way to help you get the long term results you’re after, and it allows us to continue to invest in the tools and resources that you need to be successful.
