GGRK 5100
Biblical Greek [Lecture] (3)
This course takes a unique approach to introducing New Testament Greek to those preparing for ministry in the 21st century. It utilizes online websites as a textbook and builds on the availability of other tools (e.g., BibleWorks) that provide users with lexical and parsing information on the Greek text of the New Testament. A basic assumption underlying this approach to the introduction of New Testament Greek is that the student’s goal is not to teach Greek as a scholar, but to use it in the study of the New Testament as a minister. The focus in this course is on gaining a conceptual understanding of New Testament Greek, not on memorizing all the paradigms, specific details, “rules”, and “exceptions” involved. Students will be required to memorize a basic vocabulary.
