DEBUNKED: The New Testament is European because "muh Greek" -
The New Testament was written in Koine Greek, which was the version of Greek in use in the Mediterranean from around 300 BCE to 600 CE.
It is called the lingua franca of Roman Empire at the time and was spoken from Southern Italy to Greece, from Anatolia to Judea. It was even an official language in Persia during this period and was the official language for governmental administration and business in Egypt for one thousand years.
In fact, Koine Greek was spoken by far more Jews than was Hebrew at the time.
So, the common argument that because the New Testament was written in Greek it is therefore a European cultural document is a fallacy.
Everyone in the region was speaking this form of Greek, whether European, Semite, or North African.
