All the documents of Christianity - such as those that are found in the collection known as 'the New Testament' - were written in the common Koine Greek language of the Mediterranean world. In this video, Dr Peter Watts argues that learning to read that language, as part of a study of theology or of the Bible, is an important way not only to get a deeper appreciation of those texts but of gaining access to the mental worlds of the writers of those early texts which are still valued by Christians today.
