Not sure you have time for NT Greek?
Okay, I confess, I'm one of those preachers who skipped Biblical Languages in college, picked up a Bachelors degree and immediately started preaching in my early 20's.
Fast forward 30 years of ministry, 3 kids and 3 grandchildren later. By Gods grace I now serve a
1500 member church, write for publications and carry a significant travel schedule.
But I find myself with less time than I had when I bypassed Greek in the first place.
Enter IABC. Gary Collier and Patrick Spicer made 1st Year Greek possible, accessible and even enjoyable. Their step by step approach for even novices like myself with hectic schedules is an excellent path for busy people. David Alan Black’s textbook and the patient user-friendly way that Patrick helped us interact with it, was absolutely stellar. The study apps and the community approach along with Patrick’s knowledge gave me the confidence to complete 1st Year Greek.
Everybody is busy, but the rewards that come from wading around in the language God used to gift us with
His truth are worth another slot on your calendar. You can do this. Take it from a guy that's still too busy. You won't be sorry.
The biggest problem with college/university Greek programs
is not bad instruction.
The Traditional Way
- Exorbitant cost
- Jack-rabbit paced (leaving many students behind)
- Limited amount of class time
- No recordings of classes for review
- No ongoing support beyond basic studies (the majority of Bible students who take a year or two of Greek have forgotten most of it within 2-3 years.)
- An increasing lack of commitment to the amount of Greek study offered (many schools have closed NT Greek programs)
- An increasing focus on the formality of "accreditation" over high quality study and personal attention
Our Way
- Affordable.
- As much time to learn Greek as you choose
- As much review of class time as you choose
- Full recordings of classes for perpetual review
- Ongoing support year after year in active Greek translation of biblical-texts, vocabulary building, grammar studies through our Greek NT Translation Team projects.
- Our Greek program is our highest priority, and we continually tailor our offerings to what students need the most.
- Our "accreditation" comes from our students who receive as much personal attention as they want and need.
If you are looking for . . .
a high-quality, top-shelf experience
in Greek studies for personal Bible study, teaching, or preaching reasons,
without the high cost,
we have an ideal program.
However, if you need . . .
a formally accredited degree
for professional reasons,
we encourage you to seek out
a university or seminary program
which maintains a strong focus
in Hellenistic Greek studies.
