Biblical Greek 4 is a LIVE ONLINE Term 1 2024 SIX-WEEK Course held virtually on Zoom on Six Thursdays: Oct 31, Nov 7, 14, 21, Dec 5, 12 from 7:00–9:00pm EST. Once you register for this course, log into your MSI account, choose this course in 'My Courses', and you will find the Zoom link in the Course Contents along with all the course materials as they are shared.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Continued Greek grammar with an emphasis on the major formations of verbs covering chapters 21–25 in our textbook. The Biblical Greek course series at MSI could be called "Mounce Made Easier".
CH 21 Imperfect Indicative
CH 22 Second Aorist Active & Middle Indicative
CH 23 First Aorist Active & Middle Indicative
CH 24 Aorist & Future Passive Indicative
CH 25 Perfect Indicative
This course has a pre-recorded video and live online component to help lifelong learners master Greek grammar. The pre-recorded videos must be viewed before class each week. The related chapters in Mounce must also be read before class each week. This will allow us time to discuss the material, work through questions, and explain workbook exercises that you will have already completed. Note that some chapters have no workbook exercises, but most do. The material for each chapter cannot be mastered without doing the workbook exercises.
Rewatch the videos as necessary to master the material for each week. The live online component will provide lifelong learners the opportunity to ask questions and clarify any confusion. Repetition is the key to learning, so both components are vital to create a strong foundation that will enable you to succeed in our subsequent Biblical Greek courses.
