Hi everyone,

Just to clarify, the reference to McMaster was more of an example than anything else. The same thing can be said for most schools that have substantial faculty and students interested in Koine Greek and applies just as much.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello all,

There is a post on Mike Aubrey's website, EN EFESW asking why students of MacMaster Divinity School don't participate on the B-Greek website (at least are not visibly seen making posts there). The conversation has gotten some former and present B-Greekers to participate, along with some in the MacMaster school.  

The post said

It just occurred to me as I finished my run this afternoon (It’s a 
beautiful sunny day in Vancouver today!) that I’ve never actually seen 
either students or professors from MacDiv participating in the discussions on the B-Greek list.That doesn’t make much sense to me. I know of a number of good students there whose participation would benefit everyone.
The same could be said for a number of other prominent schools: 
Gordon-Conwell, Dallas Theological Seminary, Trinity Evangelical 
Divinity School, etc. Sometimes it feels like NT Greek scholarship is done in a vacuum. And that kind of scholarship hurts the field. What gives?
You may want to log in to Mike Aubrey's site  http://evepheso.wordpress.com/2011/05/23/macmaster-b-greek/, and make a post in EN EFESW after reading through the discussions. What's your opinion? We all want to get the most out of B-Greek, and getting qualified people who know Greek like the back of their hand is important to this community. Are we doing our best? Can we improve?
