Read
Master New Testament Greek is designed for people who want to read the text of the New Testament. Vocabulary is arranged book by book, starting with the easiest New Testament texts.

The fastest way to master New Testament Greek is to read the text while you grow your vocabulary. If you’ve completed at least one year of Greek, Master New Testament Greek provides a systematic approach to memorizing the vocabulary of the Greek New Testament, allowing you to read book by book through the New Testament starting with the easiest texts.
It’s more than a vocabulary manual.
It is a guide to master the Greek New Testament.
I’m impressed with Darryl Burling’s method of tying vocabulary acquisition to a graded reading of actual New Testament texts. It’s true that students learn vocabulary best when it overlaps with their reading of Scripture, and they need to start with easier texts and build to more complex ones. I will recommend this resource to my students.
Dr. Rob PlummerAny tool that can help students to master the vocabulary of the Greek New Testament is a good thing. Carefully designed for this purpose, Master New Testament Greek is one of the best tools available today.
Highly recommended.
Dr. Constantine CampbellMaster New Testament Greek is ideal for you if…
You’ve got a year of Greek behind you and you want a structured approach to continue and complete your learning.
You once learned Greek and want to refresh your knowledge and gain a proficiency in the language.
You have an exegetical proficiency in New Testament Greek but want to gain a more natural ease in the text.
You want a vocabulary guide that will provide students with a structured approach to vocabulary acquisition long after class is over.
I don't know Greek, will this teach me?
Unfortunately no. This is designed for students who have completed at least one year of Greek, to help them continue their learning until they have mastered the entire Greek New Testament.
I want to learn 1 Peter (or some other book) in the next few weeks. Will this help?
If you jump into Master New Testament Greek at (for example) 1 Peter, there will be words in 1 Peter that will be missing because Master New Testament Greek assumes you learned those in the books that come before it.
Master New Testament Greek will certainly lead you through 1 Peter (and every other New Testament book), but not until you’ve learned the words in easier books. This approach has several benefits:
- It reduces the number of words to learn in more difficult books when you come to them
- It smooths out the number of words to learn in each book overall
- It keeps you moving as quickly as possible through books of the NT
- Progressing through books quickly keeps you motivated

While I was teaching the difficult Greek of 2 Peter to a group of graduate students, I was impressed with how one student showed real familiarity with the vocabulary, especially the rarely used words. So I asked the student how he was able to master the vocabulary so well and he told me about his Greek vocabulary acquisition method. Now that student, Darryl Burling, is ready to share that method with you. Learning vocabulary is probably the greatest obstacle to fluently reading the NT in its original language. I heartily recommend Darryl’s method and encourage you to use it!
Dr. William VarnerBefore this program I simply never thought to try and memorize every word of the GNT. It was too daunting of a task. But memorizing every word of 1 John was a very manageable goal, which then also made memorizing 2 John also manageable, and then 3 John, so on and so forth. For this reason, I’m convinced that this is the best post-seminary Greek program that a pastor, missionary, Bible translator, scholar, or anyone could embark upon.
Daniel ChinNow, after 20 years in the pastoral ministry I am actually reading my Greek NT rather than tediously dissecting the text for sermon preparation. “Mastering NT Greek” was just the tool I needed. This plan is realistic and manageable — even for the full time pastor. I love this simple strategy for maintaining the Greek I already know. Now that I am started with this method I am motivated by the sheer joy of comprehending the New Testament as I read from my Greek Bible. I wish I would have had this tool when I had completed my first Greek course over 30 years ago! Every seminary student (along with busy pastors) should take advantage of “Mastering NT Greek.” Darryl Burling has done us all a great favor!
Ken AnemaI tend to get on rabbit trails in the Greek and end up not being able to read the amount that I set out to do. However, in the three days I have been using your Greek guide I have been making great progress. It has been very helpful because it is focused and specific. This is just what I needed because I always wanted to make progress but lacked the structure to follow. Thank you.
