Details of the 10-Week Course:
"NT Greek, a Spiritual Discipline"
What?
- A 10 week course on NT Greek as a Spiritual Discipline
- You'll learn 7 key benchmarks for Greek as a Spiritual Discipline. Supporting this will be 7 weekly videos starting week 4.
- You'll learn the Greek alphabet, a small number of words, and some very basic grammar using a textbook written specifically for this course.
- You'll spend the entire 10 weeks taking a close look at the Greek text of Mt 13:52.
- You'll also be part of a special 24/7 email discussion group set up just for this course.
Who?
- This course is for those who want to dip their toes in the exciting sea of biblical Greek language as a sample first step.
- Adults from any and all backgrounds are invited: women and men, working and retired, blue and white collar.
- If you have a college background of any kind, you are most welcome! But college is not a necessary background.
- High school students can take this for free! They will do well at this, and it would give them a taste of the language and the value of it. (I, myself, as a high school student, would have loved such an opportunity as this.)
When?
- Each class session will meet LIVE, every Thursday PM for 1 hour,
- 8/7/6/5 PM ET/CT/MT/PT
- June 8, 15, 22, 29, July 6, 13, 20, 27, Aug 3, 10.
- If Thursdays don't work for you, just pick any other day/time!
This will still feel LIVE! Each session will have been recorded LIVE that same week. So instead of typing into the chat, you will simply type the same questions / comments into the email discussion board and you'll get the same answer from me as if you were LIVE.
This a "have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too" situation!
Textbook:
- The textbook (2019) was written specifically for this program over 8 years.
- It must be purchased separately. It may be examined and purchased here: https://amzn.to/3HXtfiK or by clicking on the book cover.
- If you have only early drafts of this book, you will need this book (It is quite different).
- The book is introduced by Jeff Faull, senior pastor of Mount Gilead Church, Mooresville, IN.
- This book is unique among all other Greek books, in that it builds "Spiritual Discipline" into the very DNA of the teaching process.

We ask for your cooperation: We very much want you to take this course—we believe in it that strongly. So we are trying to make it as easy as possible and to remove anything that might be holding you back. In fact, our offer is so bent in your direction, it could easily be abused. We simply ask for you to enter the course with noble intentions and motives. The reason for the payment plans is to help anyone who may be concerned with cash-flow. Since the course itself is only 10 weeks, we ask anyone who signs up for the 6 month payment plan to e-sign a note of "Intent to complete payments for the full 6 months." This e-signed note will not negate the guarantee.
Time Remaining till Registration Closes
Registration will remain open until Thursday, June 8, 5:00 PM Eastern Time.

Disclaimer:
This course will not make you proficient in the language of NT Greek. It is a minimal introduction to some basic features of the language by focusing on a single text (Mt 13:52). This course will help you dip your toe into the larger sea of ancient Greek language studies. It will give you a glimpse of what is possible for Bible study reasons. The more you apply yourself to learning the basics this course offers, the more it will help improve your Bible study experience in the 7 ways listed above.
