READING THE NEW TESTAMENT WITH GREEK TOOLS FOR SERMON APPLICATIONS (NT-2001)
(09/05/2023-12/15/2023)
Course Memo
The purpose of this hybrid—concurrent format—course (3 credits) is to help students explore the New Testament with Greek Tools. In this
course, students will learn and explore the creative, innovative, and important ways to interpret biblical texts in their respective contexts.
The exercises in this class will help foster an environment of application of Greek in biblical hermeneutics and help students read the New
Testament through the postmodern lens. The course will cover the basics of phonology (sounds), morphology (forms), and syntax (word
order and function) in biblical Greek and explore how a grammatical form could change the interpretation of the text. Issues of exegesis and
interpretation will be discussed where appropriate to promote a better understanding of the New Testament that encourages a more
inclusive, ethical, and moral interpretation of texts. {Auditors with Faculty Permission]
