BSOT-224 : Language (Hebrew or Greek)

This course introduces students to the alphabets, overall structure of the languages, basic vocabulary of Hebrew and Greek, and how to use Logos software to decipher biblical Hebrew and Greek texts so that they may understand the more technical commentaries. Depending on the ability and diligence of the students, which varies from class to class, the class may read several chapters of Genesis together as well as the prologue to the Gospel of John and other NT texts chosen by the students. This class does not substitute for a full year long course in Hebrew and Greek, but it does provide minimal tools for students who would like to be able to understand what the commentators are talking about when they begin to use Hebrew and Greek terms..
