DESCRIPTION:

The first quarter of a three-quarter sequence designed to give the student a thorough basic knowledge of the phonology, morphology, and syntax of New Testament Greek. Periodic quizzes and tests help the student to monitor his or her progress. The class will be conducted entirely in Spanish. Students are expected to register in Winter and in Spring for LG512B and LG512C in this same section.

The course will provide the student with basic skills in Greek grammar needed for preaching, teaching, and personal devotion.

The course method is based on preparation of carefully designed lessons before coming to class. The class sessions consist of recitation and discussion of questions and problems, as well as presentations of material as needed. The class will meet twice weekly for two-hour sessions.
