...for the faithful communication of the Good News given us in the Scriptures...

What is the Good News - “the Gospel”?

• Martyn Lloyd-Jones preaches from the parable:
  Matthew 20.1-16 - Workers in the vineyard
  

Why learn Greek?

• It is the language of Scripture, by God’s appointment
  • It enables you to better understand God’s Truth
  • It is most expressive, full of subtle nuances and precision
  • It is ready-made to communicate abstract concepts such as “truth” et al.
  • It was the Lingua Franca of the Roman world
  • Original vs. Translation: Reading in Color not in Black and White
  • “Reading the Bible in translation is like kissing your wife through a veil” ~ Martin Luther
• Side benefits
  • Logical discipline
  • Better understanding of Language in general, and English in particular
    • Grammar
    • Cognate and derivative words (more on this later)
