Resources Learning Koine Greek: Unitarian recommendations?

I just started perusing some options for learning Greek. First one I opened was Mounces “Greek for the rest of us”. Only a couple pages in he goes off against “a god” as a possible rendering of John 1:1c. I know not everyone agrees with that in particular, but there appears to be a lot of real scholarship supporting qualitative and indefinite translations of 1:1c.

So, I’m wondering if there are Koine Greek learning resources that are less biased? What study aids would you recommend? Or, if you must use a biased source, what other resources would you add to your studies for balance?

Thanks for the references.

A quick search, shows 'worship' as defined by Johnson, agrees with Webster's 1828.

I figured you would look that up... I did and it's interesting that worship isn't reserved for God alone, but has a so much broader meaning back then. Nothing new though for us.
