Biblical Greek Reading Week

The theme of this year’s reading is Encountering God, and we shall invite readers to look at a number of annotated texts that describe divine/human interactions.

Over four days students will translate the texts individually, and in plenary sessions will share their translations, discussing similarities and differences in themes and vocabulary.

Students will be expected to have some basic knowledge of Koine Greek, and participants on past Greek in a Week courses will be especially welcome.

Students are asked to bring along a copy of Jeremy Duff: Elements of New Testament Greek (3rd ed., Cambridge UP, 1995, ISBN 0521755511).

Some New Testament texts dealing with grammar in the later chapters of the textbook will be discussed, and students will be invited to suggest grammatical problems that they would like to concentrate on.

Tutor bio:

Dr Stuart Macwilliam is has been teaching New Testament Greek for 20 years to University students, priests and readers. He is motivated by a desire to persuade readers of the New Testament to deepen their critical appreciation of the texts.

What our students say

Love, love, love!

Reading Scriptures Together: The Land

They are both amazing teachers and together, extra awesome! They teach the things we should know as Christians that we don’t get taught in church. Totally essential teaching for anyone who wants to understand their faith fully and properly. I wouldn’t be where I am now without Jayme and Soshanna.

Stimulating

Reading Scripture Together is a stimulating and informative format. Keep going!

These online courses are a wonderful 90 minute break

Modern Mystics: Egied Van Broeckhoven

These online courses are a wonderful 90 minute break from everyday life to think about how I relate to God via those who have done so down through the ages.
