Re: Acts 21:25

It is also good, when beginning the study of Greek or any other language, to remember some things to help yourself succeed. 1. Maintain a spirit of humility. There is much to learn, and it is wise to keep this in mind. 2. Make as few assumptions as possible about what you are learning and understan...

Re: Acts 21:25

Hi, I was reading Acts 21:25, and thought that it might be translated as follow (from the byzantine text) : And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we sent an epistle, having judging them not keeping such thing, except keeping to themselves both idol-sacrifices, and blood, and a stra...

Re: Titus 2:3 "καλοδιδασκάλους"

- - snip snip - - - We know that a part of the Paul's doctrine is the forbidness for a woman to teach (1 Tim 2:12). Knowing that, we know that the first understanding of Titus 2:3 (καλοδιδασκάλους seen as feminine) contradicts this doctrine of Paul concering women. From this contradiction we have t...

Re: Question about pronunciation

Hi everyone, One of those terms, γεωργέω, has the gamma pronounced as a "y" because of the following epsilon, which makes it look a little strange. This would be correct in accordance with Buth's system, and I'm confident that my hesitation stems from the fact that I first learned it with...

Re: errata?

I would gladly read through it and look for durcheinander bits and typos. I was a student of Rod Whitaker for a number of years, and have also been a proof reader for Springer Verlag. I don't have a copy of the book, though. I note that the reviewer mentions "eine ganze Reihe" of typos, an...

Re: Introduction

Hello, Glad to have found this group. I've just started teaching an asynchronous online course in NT Greek. I'm using Duff's Elements of New Testament Greek. Sadly the online resources with extra practice and power-points are no longer available and I haven't been able to track them down. If anyone...
