An avid reader and student of the Greek New Testament for over twenty years, Carolyn Hindmarsh has added to her formal education by studying Greek with several master teachers, and she is therefore able to draw on a number of different methods and approaches to help students learn the language. |
Introductory New Testament Greek
This intensive course provides students with the essentials of New Testament Greek, concentrating on morphology and syntax, the two main components of grammar. Students will also acquire a basic New Testament vocabulary. The combined emphasis on morphology, syntax and vocabulary will lay a foundation for reading the New Testament, to which students will be introduced as soon as possible during the course. The pace of the course will be rapid and the amount of material to be covered is considerable. Preparation prior to the course is vital. It will be assumed that students are familiar with the Greek alphabet by the first class. Advance study of the first five chapters of the text, and attendance at the preparatory tutorial, are highly recommended. One can expect to spend at least five to six hours of study per day outside of class time.

Introductory Old Testament Hebrew
This intensive course equips the student with a knowledge of basic Hebrew grammar and vocabulary, laying the foundation for a lifetime of reading the original language text of the Old Testament. At the completion you can expect to be able to read most prose sections of the Hebrew Bible with the use of a standard lexicon. The core assumption of this course is that knowledge of the original languages is essential for faithful interpretation of the biblical text. Therefore, as we encounter Old Testament texts through our beginning language study, there will be opportunity to briefly introduce and discuss some of the component disciplines of OT exegesis and to illustrate what difference it makes to approach the text from the perspective of the original language.
Preparation prior to the course will be crucial! It is essential that you carefully study the first two chapters of the textbook (second edition of Basics of Biblical Hebrew) and complete workbook exercises one and two before the first class. The introductory lecture will include a review of the material in these chapters and will assume that you have already worked to master their content.
