Overview of class

This first course of the second-year Greek series is designed to build fluency and proficiency in reading ancient Greek through the introduction of students to works of Greek literature. This course will introduce students to the Greek New Testament, particularly the Gospel of Mark, the oldest and shortest of the Gospels. We will read Mark nearly in its entirety as we review the grammar, vocabulary, and morphology learned in first-year Greek. Additionally, we will read selections from other New Testament texts and apocrypha as we investigate how this unique genre functions.
