Intermediate Greek is a LIVE ONLINE Term 4 course on Thursdays from 7:00–9:30pm EST held virtually on Zoom starting on 05/5/2022.

Course Description
A very clear, even easy, introduction to exegetical grammar and syntax in which everything that was learned in Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek is expanded, nuanced, and made more useful in exegeting (drawing the intended meaning out of) Biblical texts. This course features rich overviews of each topic and an abundance of examples from the New Covenant Scriptures. Be sure to purchase the textbook listed below.
This MSI LIVE ONLINE course meets LIVE via Zoom on six Thursdays 04/21, 05/5, 05/12, 05/19, 5/26, & 06/2 but the LIVE ONLINE sessions for this course will be recorded and available to revisit whenever you desire. The videos will be uploaded as soon as possible after the LIVE ONLINE sessions in the Course Contents. We encourage you to follow the schedule closely and plan ahead to be with us for these LIVE courses so you can get the most out of lifelong learning with MSI. While not ideal, you may also register for this course if you cannot attend the live sessions and engage the videos at your own pace.
