This class goes deeper into the Koine Greek language with an emphasis on translating Greek to English. After a brief review of the fundamentals of the Greek language, such as Alphabet, vowels and diphthongs, verbs, 1st and 2nd Declension nouns, adjectives, and pronouns, we will proceed further with various cases, using translation exercises in the textbook to solidify the students understanding of the subject material covered. The second semester will focus heavily on translations, mainly from the textbook and Greek New Testament.

At the conclusion of this class the student will have a very good understanding of the Greek language, will be able to identify Greek Words by sight (no matter what the endings may be), define Greek Words with very little use of a Greek Lexicon, and will be able to translate selected passages of scripture from the Greek New Testament.

Textbook(s):

The apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 4:8-12 that Jesus "gave gifts to men." These precious and important gifts are men and woman God has called as His apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. This study reveals how these gifts are being restored to His church today and how they are to function to equip the saints for the work of the ministry. It provides an understanding of biblical eldership, the fivefold ministry and how these ministry gifts function together in the local church.
