Course Description

Greek Exegesis 1 and 2 form the second year of the Biblical Greek curriculum. They build on the vocabulary and grammar (morphology and syntax) learned in BG111-112 (Biblical Greek 1 and 2), AND the exegetical method introduced in HE101 (Biblical Hermeneutics and Interpretation). Using various New Testament texts as our “learning sites”, students will develop their ability to read Biblical Greek, and gain further experience in the methods and tools involved in exegeting the New Testament.

Prerequisites and Co-Requisites: The student MUST have completed BG111-112 (or their equivalents). If the student completed BG111-112 more than 2 years ago, a qualifying test MAY be required. For maximum benefit, the student SHOULD have completed HE101.
