Thank you for your helpful remarks, Mr. Winbery. This is just the sort of
information I am looking to find to further my studies.
You are absolutely correct in your tagging me a novice. In fact, I am no
Greek scholar at all. I am, however, a college speech and communication
instructor, and a second year doctoral student whose studies often find me plunged
into areas of my discipline that require some knowledge of Greek. Several
recent classes in Greek rhetoric have piqued my interest even more. I was hoping
that in joining the B-Greek list I could mostly just listen and gain from the
expertise of true Greek scholars. I would like the opportunity from time to
time to advance a question. If this does not sit well with the rest of the list
I will remove myself with no hard feelings.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Stephanie Bennett

Stephanie,
I am made to wonder by your post if you are at least a beginning student of
Greek. I remind you of the opening sentence in the description of the list.
It
is for "scholars and students of Greek."

The statement to which you refer in 1 Timothy is, hEWS ERCOMAI PORSECE THi
ANAGNWSEI (reading), THi PARAKLHSEI (exhortation), [and] DIDASKALIA
(teaching).
I do not think that the best translation of PARAKLHSIS is "preaching," but I
suppose it is not too far afield.
