• Description: An introduction to the forms, words and grammar of Koine/New Testament Greek. In person instruction. Classes will meet at the Lanier Theological Library from 7:00 to 8:30 pm in the Lamb and Scroll (dining hall) on Tuesday evenings beginning June 22, 2021 through August 3, 2021.
• Course Instructor: David B. Capes, Senior Research Fellow at the Lanier Theological Library
  Dr. Capes has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in Greek for 25 years at Houston Baptist University and Wheaton College.
• Enrollment: 40
• Course Requirements: There are no grades issued for the course, but I am glad to give you feedback on your work.  Please bring paper to take notes for each session and try to be in place at 7:00 pm.  Have your textbook by the first session and bring it each week.  I will ask you to read a chapter or two and do the exercises related to the chapter.  You cannot acquire a language without practice.
• Textbook: Beginning with New Testament Greek: An Introductory Study of the Grammar and Syntax of the New Testament by Benjamin Merkle and Robert Plummer (new, $32 on Amazon). For now, you do not need a copy of the Greek New Testament.  I will supply you copies of various NT texts to read aloud and work through.  If you want to purchase one, purchase the United Bible Societies 4^th edition or higher of the Greek New Testament.  Purchase the one with the dictionary in the back of it.  You can buy it without the dictionary, but the dictionary does come in handy.
