About the New Testament Greek course

For those unfamiliar with New Testament Greek, our beginners’ language course is a fantastic way to develop a grounding in the language and a comprehensive knowledge of the basic tools of translation.

After completing the course, you will have a good understanding of the basics of New Testament Greek grammar, and you will already have translated some smaller portions of the New Testament itself.  

“During your studies, you will engage with up-to-date scholarship on the relevant texts. You’ll explore a range of subjects, including matters of history and literary analysis, background and theology.”
