Mastering Biblical Greek

Our entry level Biblical Greek course centers around John's writing in his gospel, chapter 1 verses 1 to 18. This text was chosen for two reasons. First, because it is doctrinally significant - discussing both the incarnation of Christ and His eternal existence. Concepts made very clear by understanding the Greek of the text. And second, because the text contains examples of every grammar component found in the Biblical Greek language.

About this Course

Learning a new language involves computing the mind, much like programming a computer. We will use two important methods to teach you this language.

The Walking Method
We ask that you walk through the exercises and assignments. This will require your personal effort to employ the three principles of learning to each lesson. The three principles of learning are: seeing (watching as you write); speaking (pronouncing each letter and syllable); and hearing (as each letter and syllable is pronounced).

The Talking Method
In addition, the recorded audio will talk you through the material. As you go through the lessons, you will hear the syllable sounds and grammar rules repeated over and over again.

The best way to learn is through repetition. Therefore we ask you to continue on even when you feel discouraged or are unable to understand some parts. Additionally, we encourage you to listen to the audio and to practice the assigned exercises as often as possible.

We guarantee that if you continue to expose yourself to the materials you will learn this language. Remember, your mind is being programmed with this new language and it is our responsibility to make sure you learn it.

Completing this course will give you:

— an overall understanding of the fundamentals of the Biblical Greek language including the alphabet, pronunciation, and punctuation

— the ability to read and write Biblical Greek

— understanding of Biblical Greek nouns, pronouns, prepositions, and verbs

— the tools needed to begin studying the New Testament in its original language
