-
Accademic Unit
Biblical Faculty
Description
The goal of this course is to advance the student’s knowledge of the morphology and syntax of New Testament Greek and to impart those skills needed for a grammatical and stylistic analysis of biblical texts.
Method
The class sessions will be largely dedicated to a close reading of the Greek text of Acts of the Apostles 1–15, with special attention given to the grammatical and stylistic analysis of the text. In the course of the semester, time will be set aside for a formal and systematic review of the following grammatical topics: 1) grammatical functions of the nominative, genitive, dative, and accusative cases; 2) the aspectual and temporal meanings of the verbal tenses; and 3) tense, aspect, and syntax of participles.
Evaluation
The student’s progress will be measured on the basis of a mid-semester exam and a final exam.
