Greek words open up the New Testament. The Explorer begins with the hundred words of Just Enough Greek and its second volume, and it is built to grow with focused collections from the site’s free studies. Not the whole language, just enough to read with confidence and to hear what the church has always heard. Each entry tells you what the word means, where you’ll meet it in Scripture, and what confessional Lutherans hear in it.

“This Is My Body”
In October 1529, in a castle at Marburg in central Germany, two of the great Reformation theologians met to try to resolve their differences. Luther and Zwingli had agreed on fourteen of fifteen articles of faith. They could not agree on the fifteenth. The dispute was over the Lord’s Supper, and it crystallized around a single Greek word in the words of institution.
