Description
This course will bring students a working facility with the Greek New Testament. Its primary objective is to enable students to read and exegete the original sacred text, to their profit and that of their hearers. In keeping with this goal, exercises and readings will be taken almost exclusively from the sacred text, and students will begin exegesis as soon as a very fundamental knowledge of the language allows.
As the Lord in his providence has preserved His Word over the centuries, so He has preserved the knowledge of the Biblical languages, that His Church may continue to rightly divide the Word of Truth. To each generation is given the joyous privilege of learning the ancient languages of Scripture. It is especially needful in this time of cultural decline and famine for the Word, that we equip the next generation hold forth the Word of Life faithfully.
The primary text for the course will be William D. Mounce’s Basics of Biblical Greek, and its accompanying workbook, both available from Amazon. The student may be able to save on these texts by acquiring them at Pilgrim Discount Bookstore in Portland Oregon.
