As I indicated in a previous post, I am scheduled to teach New Testament Greek, Lord willing, to a number of distance students this Fall. It has been suggested, for the benefit of those who are busy with jobs and other matters, that we go at a somewhat slower pace. Therefore the content of first semester Greek is getting divided over two semesters. So if you are interested, but thought you would have difficulty keeping up, perhaps you can reconsider. In any case, we are starting soon, so this is your last chance if you want to sign up.
The current proposed schedule is (BBG stands for Basics of Biblical Greek by William Mounce, and BBGW is the course workbook):
Week of 9/5/22: Class #1: BBG 1-4 video
Week of 9/12/22: Class #2: BBG 5-6 video
9/19/22: Class #3: BBG 7 video & SKG 1-9
9/27/22: Live zoom session

Students enrolling as a group in a Bible institute will take tests in conjunction with their local disciplers.)

“Lighthouse Baptist Church”
Where is that located?
Did someone mention a Lighthouse Baptist Church?
Oh, I see it now. I don’t know.
It is in North Carolina. But students from multiple parts of the country are signed up for the class, so you don’t need to go to North Carolina. I am going to be teaching it from the San Francisco, CA area, Lord willing.
