Greek 101 – Introduction to Biblical Greek (3 Credits)
This course is part one of the study of elementary Biblical (Koine) Greek. Our purpose is to enable the student to gain a thorough knowledge of the first half of Bill Mounce’s grammar and to be able to begin using the Greek New Testament and related tools. In this course, the student will learn how to read the Greek New Testament out loud, will learn the most common 200 words in the Greek NT, will be able to recognize word forms based on their suffixes and prefixes, and will be able to use Greek dictionaries, commentaries, and software tools. In addition, some common pitfalls will be pointed out so that the student will avoid common errors in handling the Greek text.
