Overview of class

This first course of the second-year Greek series is designed to build fluency in reading ancient Greek as students transition from the study of grammar to literature. This course will introduce students to the Greek New Testament, particularly the Gospel of Mark, the oldest and shortest of the Gospels, which students will read nearly in its entirety as they review the grammar, vocabulary, and morphology learned in first-year Greek. Additionally, students will read selections from other New Testament texts and apocrypha, as well as some other 1st - 4th century Greek literature, as we investigate how this unique genre functions.
