Biblearc EQUIP

Successful completion of Greek III, 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 IV 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. Greek II covers non-indicative finite verbs 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. ]]
