A Master List of NT Greek Video Courses, Free on My Google Drive

Somewhere on YouTube right now, a student is three chapters into Mounce with no one to explain why the noun rules matter, and another is about to give up on participles for want of a second voice explaining the same material a different way. Both problems have the same solution: the teaching is already out there, hundreds of hours of it, free, but scattered across channels and playlists that nobody has gathered in one place. So I’ve been working on gathering it.

The result is a 27-page reference document, now available on my Google Drive: 561 videos across twelve channels, every entry listed with the channel, the video title, and a direct URL you can type or click. It runs from first exposure to the alphabet through second-year syntax and on to sentence diagramming, which is where exegesis actually happens.

Four of the major tracks are lecture series keyed to published grammars, so you can pair the videos with a textbook and effectively take a seminary Greek course at your kitchen table. Bill Mounce teaches through his own Basics of Biblical Greek, the grammar that has trained more first-year students than any other, and Mark Schuler of Concordia University Saint Paul covers the same chapters a second time at classroom pace. Dave Black works through his Learn to Read New Testament Greek in 24 sessions recorded before a live audience in Addis Ababa. A 24-part study guide follows Dana Harris's An Introduction to Biblical Greek Grammar chapter by chapter, and a 120-lesson series tracks Jeremy Duff's Elements of New Testament Greek, the standard British counterpart to Mounce. Beyond the textbook tracks you'll find Rob McIver's full Made Easier course, Abidan Shah's two-year church-based sequence (taught by a pastor with a PhD in textual criticism), Ken Schenck's fast-moving survey, and Alpha with Angela's remarkable immersion course, 78 lessons taught entirely in Greek without a word of English.

Where I was able, each section opens with background on the teacher and the textbook, so you know whose voice you're trusting before you invest fifty hours in it.

Seminary tuition puts the biblical languages out of reach for most believers. This document is my small attempt to put them back within reach. Take it, print it, share it, and start with the alphabet.

An Expanded and Reorganized Reference: NT Greek on YouTube, Now at 714 Videos

The first version of this reference ran 561 videos and stopped, more or less, at the edge of first year. A reader working through Mounce or Duff had what they needed; a reader who had finished first year and wanted syntax, the textual apparatus, or sentence diagramming had to go looking again. That gap is closed now. The document has grown to 714 videos across 18 channels and 36 playlists, and it no longer just lists them: it organizes them into a path.

Five parts. Part One holds the courses keyed to a published grammar, so the videos and the book together amount to a full seminary course: Mounce taught twice over (his own official series and, separately, Mark Schuler's), Dave Black through his own grammar in Addis Ababa, Dana Harris's syntax-focused text with its Diognetus Damascus study guide, Jeremy Duff's British standard in 120 short lessons, and Rob McIver's Made Easier sequence with its six topic playlists. Part Two gathers the first-year courses that don't track a textbook, and this is where the update adds the most ground: David Hutchison's 27-lesson course from a former Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary professor, alongside Ken Schenck, Jonathan Wilkins, Michael Cameron's 28-lesson series, and Greek For All. Part Three is Alpha with Angela's immersion course on its own, since teaching entirely in Greek without a word of English belongs in its own category. Part Four is the real addition: second year and beyond. Shah's continuation course, Hutchison's 16-lesson syntax series, his 10 sessions walking the UBS5 textual apparatus verse by verse through 1 John, and both New Testament Greek Guy series on sentence diagramming, one conceptual and one on the PowerPoint template for producing the diagrams. Part Five is shorter-form and conversational: JC Schroeder's practical tips, John Schwandt's channel uploads (he's the voice behind the Greek pronunciations in Logos, and founder of the Institute of Biblical Greek), and four interview series from Biblingo on pedagogy, linguistics, word order, and translation philosophy, including an episode on the Legacy Standard Bible (my translation of choice) with William Varner.

New document, same Drive folder, more of it and better arranged: a beginner can start on page one and, by page thirty-seven, be diagramming sentences and reading a textual apparatus.
