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.

Throughout, emphasis will fall on the lexical meanings of words (unrestricted by theology or exegetical tradition) as well as on the ethical implications of translation. A secondary emphasis of this course is the literary, historical, and cultural background of various New Testament texts. Prerequisite: GRK 1104-5, Intensive New Testament Greek or instructor's permission. Offered when demand is sufficient.
