Learn to read New Testament Greek using a systematized approach with…
The Greek Mastery Membership
An all-access pass to Greek courses, a world-class community, and live teaching calls!
Reading biblical Greek
shouldn't just be the
work of pastors and
theologians.
Having your own knowledge of the word of God is an integral part of your walk with Christ.
Without it, you’re relying on theologians and pastors to interpret the word for you, making you a second-hander.
With the Mastery Membership, you can go deeper into the word of God than you ever have before by learning to read biblical Greek.

With the Greek Mastery Membership,
you follow a proven path to success.
One of the biggest challenges of learning Greek is the sheer size of the 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 inside the Milestones.
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.
As you go through the Greek Mastery Membership, you follow our specific graded reading plan, and learn the relevant grammar and vocabulary you need along the way in order to grow through reading.
This is the exact system I used to teach myself to read the Greek New Testament
and speed way ahead of what seminary was teaching me!
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 what I did was, I took all the books in the Greek NT…
Arranged them from easiest to hardest to read based on both lexical and syntactical difficulty…
And spent hours reviewing and arranging the vocabulary for each book.
I then discovered the secret to being able to read through the New Testament far quicker than any other method I’d seen.
I couldn’t believe no one else was teaching this. It blew other approaches to learning vocabulary (like the occurrence-based approach) out of the water.
Once I started using it, I was able to read more of the Greek New Testament, with greater speed, and more ease than most of my classmates.
The system uses a unique vocabulary acquisition system not taught elsewhere.
The Greek Mastery Membership gives you the entire vocabulary of the Greek New Testament book-by-book.
You get this in digital flashcards, with an app and a system that we teach you how to use.
Learning vocabulary is an essential part of growing in your ability to read Greek, and learning the vocabulary book-by-book, chapter-by-chapter means you don’t waste unnecessary time memorising irrelevant words.
I've taught this system to Greek Mastery Members, and here's what some have said:
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!
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.
People of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of education have had success by adopting this system of learning. Now, you can too.
The Greek Mastery Membership offers so much more than just a curriculum.
As a member, you are part of a world-class community.
When I created the Greek Mastery Membership, I didn’t want it to just be an “info-dump.”
I wanted to make sure members were achieving their goal of learning to read Greek.
So I made sure that every Biblical Mastery Academy membership was centered in the community, where I and other instructors host weekly live calls!
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.
In these calls, you can ask me or one of our Greek instructors your questions in real time! These calls are an opportunity to check in, bring questions, and make progress with your skills.
Our Community Calls include:
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.
Text Reading Call
A call to read through Greek text together. This helps you sharpen your translation skills. You will get a chance to read and translate aloud on the call, with feedback from the teacher.
Our Current Call Schedule:
All times quoted in Pacific Daylight Time
Greek Office Hours:
Tuesdays 2:30pm
Greek Text Reading Call:
Mondays 4pm
Greek Text Reading Call:
Tuesdays
11am
Hebrew Office Hours:
Wednesdays 11am
Plus, the Community has a Reading Academy, with a book call every month!
Every month, I choose a book for us to read on Greek, Hebrew, Christian Life, or the New Testament period, and we have a call at the end 2 months to discuss the book.
This means you’ll be able to start a new book each month, but spend 2 months reading each one!
This is helps you grow in your love for in the biblical languages and the culture around them.
Here are just some of the Reading Academy books we’ve read in the past…
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!
A big reason to join and stay in Biblical Mastery Academy: Cohorts.
Cohorts are our live walkthroughs of Greek courses.
That means that you’ll join a weekly live call with one of the instructors at Biblical Mastery Academy to walk through the course, lesson-by-lesson.
This gives you get structure, accountability, and deadlines to keep you motivated.
These are our courses for which we run cohorts:
Throughout the year, we regularly start new cohorts, and do our best to cater for different time zones.
Even if you can’t make it to the live classes, the calls are all recorded for you to watch afterwards. These give you an “anchor”. Something to track along with, week by week, to ensure you’re staying on schedule.
Cohorts are entirely optional, but they are great for keeping you moving in your Greek. You can always access all the course work through your membership dashboard.
The outcome matters: Here's what you get in the Greek Mastery Membership.
Gain the skills and knowledge to read the
whole Greek New Testament without relying on external tools.
No interlinear bible.
No lexicon.
No reliance on commentaries.
Nothing. Just you and your Greek New Testament.
You’ll be understanding the original text without depending on the translation work of others.
And one of the greatest things about learning Greek is this:
Your ability to read Koine Greek will deepen your faith and impact your ministry.
When you can read the scriptures in Greek, and know the Lord as he has revealed himself in the New Testament, you’ll grow in your love for Christ. You will become a more faithful servant of God, because your direct knowledge of scripture drives everything you do.
This is why members send in testimonials like this:

Greek Mastery Member
By now you can probably see that the journey of learning Greek bears much fruit!
You’ll have greater clarity about what the author has communicated. As one of our members put it, “I feel like I’m getting to know the authors.”
You’ll have greater confidence in your understanding of scripture.
You’ll also see incredible gains in efficiency because you’re less dependent on the work of others.
And best of all, you’ll have a vitality to your walk with Christ, a daily joy that is constantly growing deeper.
You’ll see as you study the original language of the New Testament that…
Efficiency with the text blesses your studies and sermon preparation!
Efficiency is important.
First, because you’re reading scripture in Greek, you don’t need to ask as many questions about what the text means. You know what it means without having someone to hold your hand.
Not only this, but when you encounter a difficult text, you’ll have a huge advantage. Instead of sifting through varying opinions, and having no way of coming to an answer…
Your knowledge of Greek will allow you to quickly and effectively evaluate the arguments and conclusions of scholars!
Your knowledge and work will be faster, which creates more clarity in the text than you’ve ever experienced.
In short, knowing Greek will allow you to live out 2 Timothy 2:15.
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.”
Accurately handling the word of truth... without needing to be ashamed.
Who doesn’t want that?
Reading in Greek will empower your life and ministry more than any other theological pursuit.
Learning and knowing the original languages will immerse you in the word of truth like never before.

Right Now, You Can
Learn Greek For
69.54% Less Than I
Paid To Learn Greek At
Seminary
(And you'll learn far more Greek than I did in seminary classes)
When I went to seminary, I paid $6500 USD 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.
For you however, it would be a different story.
With the Greek Mastery Membership…
You could learn to read the whole Greek New Testament in 4 years.
If you paid the annual fee, that’d be $550 a year.
So if you stayed in the Mastery Membership for four years, your grand total would be $2200.
That’s just 30.46% of what I paid for only seven classes of seminary…
And for a far more thorough education in biblical Greek than I ever got!
