Just Enough Greek

50 Words Every Confessional Lutheran Should Know

You do not need seminary Greek to read the New Testament well. But fifty words — charis, pistis, dikaiosyne, koinonia, and their kin — carry so much of the New Testament’s weight that knowing them changes how you hear everything built on them.

Just Enough Greek takes those fifty words one at a time: what each meant in the first century, where it appears, how the Lutheran confessions hang on it, and what gets lost when English flattens it. No grammar drills, no paradigms to memorize — just the vocabulary of the Gospel, opened up for the people in the pew.

Just Enough Greek serves as the Fall 2026 adult Sunday school text.
