You may radically disagree with the forceful statements about
inadequate seminary (and pre-seminary) training in ancient Greek, but
here are some blog voices that should be seen (heard?):

 From John Hobbins' "Ancient Hebrew Poetry" blog, a piece entitled,
"It's all Greek to me"

and a co-referential piece by "Ad Fontes" entitled, "Christian
Seminary Language Education: Its Pretty Sad."
