from http://www.biblicalgreek.org/links/erasmian.php an explanation for all who find the Logos Earsmian pronunciation "wrong".

For a technical discussion of Koine pronunciation see http://www.biblicallanguagecenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Koine-Pronunciation-2012.pdf

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    This book: http://amzn.com/0310515955 (which needs to be in Logos ;), has a nice section on pronunciation, arguing strongly against the Erasmian approach but recognizing the challenges with pedagogy.
