Welcome to Beginning Greek!
This course will help students to lay a foundation for lifelong reading and interpretation of the Greek New Testament. This course will also deepen the student’s study of the apostolic Scriptures.
By God’s grace, students will:
- understand how Greek works in terms of vocabulary, grammatical constructions, and syntax;
- be prepared to translate the Gospel pericopes for a given Sunday to further enrich the reception of God’s Word in the Divine Service;
- demonstrate a more precise command of the target language (English) as a result of the course’s exposure to the source language (Greek);
- articulate the Gospel (or Christological content) of a biblical text better as a result of having studied Greek;
- apply the insights of a Greek text, in a simple way, to people who don’t know Greek at all;
- perceive the overall relevance of Greek for living the Christian life.
