Our students are excited about the classes we offer and find they can easily begin advanced work at other institutions or continue learning on their own. 不管你的目标是什么, you will never regret the time you spend learning Greek and you will always appreciate the insights it gives you into the biblical text.
“Learning Greek or Hebrew should never be treated as just a means to an end. Languages are dynamic and complex and cannot be reduced to simple formulas and rules. Learning these languages well imparts a familiarity that guards against poor interpretation, a perspective that exposes the breadth of issues affecting meaning, and a humility that is so desperately needed for an honest engagement with the biblical text.”
Dr. Karl Kutz, Professor and Chair of Biblical Languages
