Our study will be based on the exegesis of Scripture, but with continual reference to historical theology as well.

Fall 2019 // Greek II
Greek 2
Rev. Timothy Decker
Class Details
Monday Mornings 7AM-9AM, beginning August 26.
Location: Christ Church Radford
Course details: Course Syllabus available HERE.
Course Description:
Greek 2 continues building where Greek 1 ended. Therefore, completion of Greek 1 is a prerequisite to enrolling in Greek 2. Greek 2 is a three credit course that opens an entirely new world to the student of Scripture. While it must be understood that mastering this language does not settle all interpretive and theological problems, it does aid in understanding the New Testament more accurately. Therefore, it is vital that pastors and teachers engage with the original language of the New Testament. To this end, this course introduces the basic grammar and vocabulary of New Testament Greek, preparing the student to translate, exegete, interpret, and communicate that text for the benefit of the Church.
Course Objectives:
- For the sake of improving one’s reading ability in the GNT (Greek New Testament), the student is to memorize the foundational vocabulary of the GNT and prove competency with frequent vocabulary quizzes.
- Given that language is built on rules of grammar, the student will learn basic grammar and demonstrated through translation assignments.
- Because interacting with the text increases one’s awareness of the various exegetical issues, the student will translate from the GNT using various tools as aids but not crutches.
- Since the goal of learning the language is to properly exegete and communicate the GNT for the task of preaching and teaching in the local church, the student will learn the place of Greek in the task of communicating the Word of God.
- With the vast amounts of scholarly commentaries, lexicons, and other resources that require a knowledge of biblical Greek, the student will learn to interact with these aids in order to increase their ability to correctly interpret the GNT.
