GRK 1104-5 - Intensive New Testament Greek

Institution:

University of the Ozarks

Subject:

Description:

This course, which meets daily, affords students an intensive introduction to the grammar and vocabulary of the Greek New Testament. Because no one ever learned a language in the abstract, students will begin reading the text, with appropriate assistance, almost immediately. Moreover, reading will emphasize, insofar as possible, the literal meanings of the words of the Greek New Testament, unadorned by theological speculation and un-refracted by sectarian interpretation. That is, the course will strive to elucidate what Garry Wills has called the "rough-hewn majesty" of the sacred text.As an ancillary part of this process, students will reflect on the ethical implications both of reading and of translation. Toward that end, they will be invited to consider how a clear understanding of the language of our sacred texts can affect both our academic pursuits and our personal faith and practice.
