Having your own knowledge of the word of God is an integral part of your walk with Christ.
Without it, you’re relying on scholars and pastors to interpret the word for you, meaning you know the scriptures second-hand.
With the Mastery Membership, you can go not only learn to read the New Testament in Greek, but you will delve deeper into the word of God than you ever have before.
The results will transform you forever!

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!
As you think back a few years to where you are right now, you realize that you feel a far deeper connection to the scriptures, to Christ, to the early church and the authors of scripture, and to Christ than you even imagined was possible before you started.
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!
Learning to read the scriptures in Greek is an investment in knowing the Lord more fully, and as a result, grow in your love for Christ, making the significance of the world’s troubles to fade just a little.
As a you read the language of the New Testament, you are able to behold Christ through a fresh, first century perspective while gaining greater insight into what the Lord has revealed about Himself, His redemptive plan, creation, mankind, sin, believers…
…in short – everything!
Ultimately, you will feel that you are able to better see the world through God’s eyes, and in doing so, you will grow in your walk with the Lord.
As well as that…
Reading Greek paves the way for faithful service to God, because your direct knowledge of scripture drives everything you do.
This is why members send in testimonials like this:

Your personal ministry might be focused in the church, in the home, or on the mission field.. (Including the mission field in your own hometown!)
Wherever and however you serve, knowing Greek will help you be more effective, because your daily interaction with the word shapes your character, and your character is reflected in the way you serve.
To illustrate, let me point out one of the apostle Paul’s concerns for believers.
He desired that those to whom he was writing would look more and more like Jesus in their life and character.
In other words, he wants believers to be spiritually mature or complete.
Just consider the following passages from Paul’s pen:
Col 1:28-29 We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ. For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me.
2 Cor 13:9b this we also pray for, that you be made complete.
2 Cor 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
The journey of learning Greek will help you grow and mature into the image of Christ, just as God wills for you. (1 Thess 4:3, “For this is the will of God, your sanctification…”)
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.
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 can read more and more complex texts with less and less help.
One year from now, you’ll be reading whole books of the Greek New Testament, starting with the easiest books.
From there, you’ll continue learning vocabulary and honing your skills and work from these easy books to the most complex and difficult Greek not only in the New Testament but also the Septuagint and the Apostolic Fathers.
Yes, learning Greek takes time, but the development of any skill takes time. 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 over when you were a child. You’ve got amazing cognitive capability you didn’t have then, which means you’ll learn faster.
And you’ve learned discipline, and can follow instructions to fast track the process.
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.” – 2 Tim 2:15
Who doesn’t want that?
Reading in Greek will empower your life and ministry more than any other theological pursuit, because learning and knowing the original languages will immerse you in the word of truth like never before.

The Greek Mastery Membership is an all-in-one educational platform that gives you access to:
The community is a huge benefit of joining this membership, because you can get quick help with anything you need an answer to.
The community is also where we host weekly calls for support and growth – anyone can join these calls, regardless of which milestone or stage you’re in.
Courses available inside the membership include:
The live cohorts give you regular opportunities to take one of our courses with a group and an instructor.
In a cohort, you’ll attend weekly live video calls to discuss the coursework and get personal help from an instructor.
Milestones are smaller achievements within the big journey! Each milestone contains video lessons guiding you through the New Testament book you’re reading through with the relevant vocabulary for you to learn.
There are 7 milestones, each containing between 3 and 7 New Testament books.
Start with our brand new beginning Greek course, Beginning Greek in Small Steps.
We’ve taught through grammars, but have found that grammars designed for seminary quickly get overwhelming for someone who is not driven by semester constraints and the need to achieve a grade.
So we started from scratch to design a beginning Greek course that introduces concepts one at a time, in small steps.
The result is Beginning Greek in Small Steps, a comprehensive beginning Greek course which includes:
Everything is delivered in our online community (also in our mobile app). So you can study, ask questions, and watch call replays wherever you are.
We even provide instructions for downloading the grammar as you progress and compiling your own personal book in Logos Bible Software!
The Greek Mastery Membership is the only place you can get a copy of Beginning Greek in Small Steps.
How to Master Greek Beyond the Basics
without Constantly Resetting your Progress
Beginning Greek is only the start. We help you read and study the entire Greek New Testament systematically.
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 steps that we’ve put into a logical structure.
Using our system, you’ll read your way book-by-book through the Greek New Testament starting from the easiest book and progressing to the most challenging book of the New Testament.
Our job is to guide you through every small step until you’re reading your Greek New Testament with clarity and confidence.
Each time you take a small step, the next one is ready and waiting for you.
Our system walks you systematically through the 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.
Here’s the story of how this system came about.
When I was a student in seminary, I had the personal goal of reading the whole Greek NT.
However, I realized the classes alone were not enough to take me to that goal. I knew if I wanted to succeed, I’d have to come up with a system myself.
So I started learning the vocabulary for the book we were studying.
Then I did the same with the next book.
Not only was this easy, it was way more effective than learning vocabulary by occurrence (which was what we were required to do).
Where students were picking through words, dependent on reader’s editions, I could read the whole book!
This success led me to look at the entire Greek New Testament and arrange them from easiest to hardest.
I then went through and created my own vocabulary glosses so I could learn a word once and read it every time I came across it.
I couldn’t believe no one else was doing this. It blew other approaches to learning vocabulary out of the water.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
Here are the courses we currently offer:
Course Outcome: You can read 1 John in Greek, and you are proficient in Beginning Greek grammar.
Course Length: ~47 weeks
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: 14 weeks
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.
Cohorts are groups working together through a course. Each week the cohort joins a weekly live call with one of the instructors at Biblical Mastery Academy.
This gives you get structure, accountability, and deadlines to keep you motivated.
We regularly run cohorts for all our existing courses and you can join as many cohorts as you want to and repeat them as often as you want!
Currently we start 4 Beginning Greek cohorts annually!
This means if you join one cohort then fall behind, you can self-study until you’re ready to join the next one.
We also run cohorts for the other courses regularly. With every cohort we aim to choose a time that suits as many people as possible, but not everyone can attend the live calls for their cohort.
That’s why we post the replays for every call inside the community – these are highly valuable for checking your translations against the other members and the instructor’s feedback.
Milestones are achievable goals that you can hit along the way toward the big goal of mastery of the whole Greek New Testament.
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.
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…
If you paid the annual fee, that’d be $715 a year.
So if you stayed in the Mastery Membership for four years, your grand total would be $2860.
That’s just 33.17% of what I paid for only seven classes of seminary…
And for a far more thorough education in biblical Greek than I ever got!
The difference between a course and a membership is your success.
A membership allows us to invest in you, and continue to invest in what will make you successful.
We’re always evaluating member progress and updating the membership to help members succeed. Everything we do is based on planned, designed, and developed around member feedback. Once we add something to the membership, we carefully evaluate its effectiveness and continue to improve it.
In the last 12 months alone, we’ve created our new and significantly easier Beginning Greek in Small Steps course, released the Biblical Mastery Academy app (on iOS, Android, and Mac), increased the support we offer, and added new classes for members to take. And there is more to come!
Join now and start your journey. You get to keep your price as long as you remain a member in good standing!
That’s right. We never put the price up for existing members, though we do put the price up from time to time for new or returning members.
I look forward to serving you inside!
In Christ,
