Location: Trinity Theological College

Synopsis. This course seeks to equip Bible study leaders, or anyone interested in understanding and appreciating the New Testament better, with a basic understanding of New Testament Greek. Participants will be taught the structure of the language and how to decode important grammatical information, without the need to memorise vocabulary or grammatical paradigms. This is now possible because of freely available apps and online tools. However, such tools do not provide help for understanding the structure of the language or decoding grammatical information. It is this gap that the course seeks to fill. When apps and online tools are used with the proper understanding of structure and grammar, the New Testament in all its gracious power can come alive and we will be prevented from being misled by false teaching that deceives with a smattering of Greek. It is hoped that through all this our people will be properly fed with the Word and our God glorified.
