Biblearc EQUIP

Successful completion of Grammar, or equivalent. (See the Course Objectives here.) 

This course is composed of ten lessons, with each lesson ending in an assignment. A single Vocab lesson will take the average student 5-6 hours to complete, and a single Grammar lesson 7-8 hours. Students are invited to progress at their own pace. Your coach will inquire as to your intended pace shortly after you begin and help keep you accountable to stay on schedule.

Path courses all end with an assessment to determine your grasp of the skills learned and material covered. Successfully passing an assessment requires a high degree of understanding and is meant to serve as a motivation to take your study seriously as well as a catalyst to improve the standard of Bible study in the Biblearc community.

Students who successfully complete the course and pass the assessment will earn Biblearc’s Greek I Certificate (see sample). If you do not pass an assessment, you may retry after one week’s time.

This course is currently available in English only.

This course series equips students with the ability to read and understand the NT in Koine Greek, its original language. Students are not required to have any prior knowledge of Greek for Greek I. This course covers nouns, adjectives, and adverbs in particular, with an emphasis on reading the text, understanding the fundamentals, and learning the vocabulary—so as to empower students to better know and teach the NT. Above all, this course series seeks to magnify Jesus through reading the NT in its original language.

[[ This series includes Greek I, II, III, and IV—equivalent to more than one year of seminary-level Greek. ]]

Memorization

To complete the Guided Practices in the next part of this lesson, you will need to know how to use the Phrasing and Diagramming modules.

Learn the basic functionality of the Phrasing module by opening the module settings (click “1 Thessalonians 1:1–3”), and then select “Take a Tour.” Be sure to understand editing mode, as well as how to break into a new line, indent, and add dot notes. You can try these things out while taking the tour.

This video from our Grammar course will show you how to use the basics of using the Diagramming module. We have it starting from the relevant spot.
