All the documents of Christianity - such as those that are found in the collection known as 'the New Testament' - were written in the common Koine Greek language of the Mediterranean world.

All the documents of Christianity - such as those that are found in the collection known as 'the New Testament' - were written in the common Koine Greek language of the Mediterranean world. In this video, Dr Peter Watts argues that learning to read that language, as part of a study of theology or of the Bible, is an important way not only to get a deeper appreciation of those texts but of gaining access to the mental worlds of the writers of those early texts which are still valued by Christians today.

Here is a full reading of the Gospel of John in Ancient Greek (with Koiné Pronunciation). This recording works through the text at a relatively slow pace, and is a great study aid for seminary students or simply for those who have a working knowledge of Koiné and wish to listen to while commuting.
Elsewhere on YouTube there already exists another recording of this text, but I sincerely believe this recording is far more accessible to non-Greeks, as its reader is working with something more akin to a Koiné pronunciation than a Modern Greek one.
The Gospel of John (Τὸ κατὰ Ἰωάννην εὐαγγέλιον) is most pertinent to the interests of The Modern Hermeticist in so far as it is far more philosophically and mystically-oriented than the other ‘synoptic’ canonical evangels. In regards to its content and style, it is the most highly Platonised (and arguably the most ‘Gnostic’) of the gospels, which means it is also the least Jewish (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_John#Gnostic_elements).

First Greek (Koine) class following the book "Polis" by Christophe Rico, éditions du Cerf, 2009.
Teacher: Prof. Christophe Rico
Assistant: Thomas Rego
The Polis method takes inspiration from the Total Physical Response (TPR) method, according to which learning foreign languages should follow the physical and oral process by which a mother tongue is acquired -- a process in which stages of passive learning precede those of active learning.
In this very first Greek class students are expected, following the TPR method, to show their understanding of the languages by performing the orders (in Greek!) given by the teacher.
The main innovation of the Polis method is the application of the TPR technique to so-called "dead" tongues, which it attempts to teach as though they were "living" ones. Hence, since it stimulates all the cognitive faculties of the student, the Polis method facilitates the acquisition of the grammar and vocabulary, and enables one, after two years of learning, to read and understand a simple text without dictionary or translation.
For more information about the Polis Institute, see: http://www.polisjerusalem.org/

REGARDING PRONUNCIATION:
There are a lot of comments upset about how we sang the Greek. First of all, to Modern Greek speakers, we are not making fun of you: Ancient Greek sounds quite different to Modern Greek, and we are using the Erasmian pronunciation, which is internationally considered standard amongst classical academics. Please be mindful of this before criticising us.
That said, this video is just us sharing our translation and having a bit of fun doing our best to sing along. We do not study linguistics or put heavy focus on exactly how the language was spoken in our studies, nor how to replicate an Ancient Greek accent; this is just a general guideline of how to sing our translation to the music. It is not intended as a perfect pronunciation guide, and you are free to sing it however you think it should be sung.
REGARDING ἐλευθερος:
When translating this, I (Robert) thought ἐλευθερος was a two-termination adjective, so would be the same for masculine and feminine in the nominative singular. Upon seeing the comments about this, I asked our Associate Professor of Greek and she agreed that it can be two-termination and that ἐλευθερος is fine. I looked in the LSJ to confirm this and it cited it as two-termination in Euripides and Aeschylus. While one might argue that ἐλευθερα is preferable, I maintain that ἐλευθερος is acceptable.
