Here are some examples (please don't take them too seriously - I am making
this up as I go along!):
1. Serious Greek User - Wants to use Greek consistently in Ministry.
Training:
- Complete beginner's guide such as Wenham or Mounce
Tools:
- UBS 4/Nestle 27
- Zerwick's Grammatical Analysis of NT
- Lexicon's
- Syntax (e.g. Nunn)
- Computer bibles
Practice:
- daily reading of NT in Greek
- development of NT vocab down to words used more than 20 times in NT
2. Casual Greek User - wants to know enough Greek not to misuse underlying
Greek text (is this possible??)
Training:
- Special course geared to use Interlinear and basic tools and to provide
enough Greek for students to understand Greek oriented commentaries
Tools:
- Interlinear Greek NT
- Mounce's Analytical Lexicon
- Good computer bible with Greek parsing
Practice:
- Parsing Greek weekly
Has anyone done this kind of analysis or can anyone point me to resources
that would help?
I am associated with a Bible College that teaches night classes. We work
through Wenham and/or Mounce over a period of two years. A third Greek
course is taught by taking students through the book of Mark in Greek. The
Bible College wishes to keep Greek as a distinctive, but wants also to make
it more relevant to a wider body of Christians. It may be that this goal
is not possible, but I would appreciate any feedback you might have.
