Introduction to New Testament Greek I

Course Description

Introduction to New Testament Greek I and II introduce students to the Greek of the New Testament and provide an opportunity to master its essential grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. The purpose of this introduction is to provide a foundation for a lifetime of reading the New Testament in its original language. Upon completion of LANG 551, the student can expect to understand enough Greek to read and analyze significant portions of the New Testament (with the help of references for vocabulary).

The core assumption of this course is that knowledge of the original languages is essential for faithful interpretation of the biblical text. As we encounter New Testament texts through our beginning language study, we’ll see what a difference it makes to engage the text in its original language. Knowledge of Greek will forever enrich your personal reading and study of the New Testament. If this course is successful, you will leave excited to use Greek in your everyday life of faith.

The friendships and relationships I’ve made during my time at Regent have opened my eyes to how immensely rich, diverse, and massive the body of Christ is. When I hear the stories of many of my classmates, I see Jesus’s immense provision and grace for the church.” — Alexander Marees
