About the "studying with precision" series

To precisely divide the Word of God, we must learn the biblical languages. This is a long, hard road—but one with great reward. It is through a careful study of Hebrew and Greek that the gospel is guarded from false teaching. It is by the study of these ancient languages that the Church is adorned with the full counsel of God.

This course is composed of ten lessons, with each lesson ending in an assignment. A single lesson will take the average student 3–5 hours to complete. 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 pass the assessment will have their Biblearc account marked with a proficiency badge indicating their accomplishment. They will also earn exciting rewards. 

If you do not pass an assessment, you may retry after one week’s time.

This course seeks to equip students with the ability to read and understand the NT in Koine Greek, its original language. It’s aimed at students who don’t have any knowledge of Greek, and it intends to take them from that starting point to an ability to read and translate all non-verb elements of Koine Greek as well as non-finite verbs (finite verbs will be introduced in Greek II). The course emphasizes reading the NT in Greek, learning the fundamentals of Greek grammar well, and equipping students to use Greek in order to understand and teach the NT better. In all of this, the course seeks to magnify Jesus through the NT in its original language.
