Description

GRK 502 – Biblical Greek 2

GRK 502 – Biblical Greek 2, a 4 credit hour course of studies in the Masters programs of Reformation Inteternational Theological Seminary.

Course Description:  4 credit hours.

This is the second course in the study of the Koiné Greek in which the New Testament was written.  Before taking this course the student needs to have completed GRK 501 (Biblical Greek 1).

With the aid of 15 audio mp3 lectures, a workbook, and a textbook, the student is led through the fundamentals of the language.  In this study the student will continue to learn NT Greek grammar and vocabulary as well as translation.  Each lesson is built on the materials taught and learned in the preceding lessons, so the lessons are cumulative, not isolated.  The lectures by Professor Richard Gainer are specifically designed to teach candidates for the Gospel ministry.  However, the material is quite suitable for anyone to learn biblical Greek as well.

Hebrew-Greek Bible (optional but highly recommended) by Trinitarian Bible Society and can be used throughout all Greek and Hebrew courses at RITS (GRK 501 & GRK 502 and HEB 601, HEB 602).  A student only taking Greek may wish the Greek Bible below.

This vinyl bound hardback Bible of the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures was originally printed by the Trinitarian Bible Society in 1984 and again in 1998.  The text is that which underlies the Authorized English Version or “Ecclesiastical Text”.  The Old Testament came originally in 16th century by Jacob ben Chayim, a Jewish Christian who collected as many manuscripts from around the world and collated them to produce the most complete printed Hebrew Old Testament possible.  Originally published by David Bomberg in 1524-5, it became the standard edition of Hebrew Old Testament.  It was repeatedly reprinted and became the basis for the Reformation-era translations.  The Greek text is that also used by the Reformation-era Bibles.  The two combined became known as the “received text”.  2288 pp.   ISBN: 978 1 86228 1165

Greek Bible (optional but strongly recommended):  Koine Greek New Testament Text (by Trinitarian Bible Society) recommend for students who will only be taking Greek courses.

This is the Greek New Testament text underlying the English Authorized Version of 1611.  As you become increasingly proficient in Greek, you will find consulting the actual text to be very useful.  This is the text from which the Biblical Greek courses are taught.  This is perhaps the lowest priced Greek New Testament text available.
