I just posted the course syllabus for my Greek 1 class in the fall. Just in case anyone is interested, here are my stated course objectives.
1. Understand the role of the biblical languages in New Testament studies.
2. Recognize a working vocabulary of the most frequently occurring words in the Greek New Testament.
3. Demonstrate a basic working knowledge of Greek grammar and syntax enabling you to translate and interpret passages from the Greek New Testament.
4. Identify the various exegetical and reference tools to further your ability to interpret the Greek New Testament.
5. Utilize Greek in biblical interpretation for life and ministry.
6. Appreciate the cross-shaped discipleship to which Jesus calls his followers and begin to appropriate to one's own life the model of servanthood and radical Calvary-love that the New Testament presents.
7. Enjoy a greater love for Jesus and a greater commitment to obeying his Great Commission.
8. Apply basic principles of textual criticism in places of textual variation in the Greek New Testament.
9. Understand and apply the basic principles of New Testament exegesis, including our tenstep approach of moving from text to sermon.
I think my favorite is #7!
Have fantastic week!
