This is a unit designed for students with a reasonable amount of fluency in Attic Greek. We will focus on extending grammatical knowledge and syntax, in addition to reading selections from a number of important biblical texts, such as the Septuagint, the Gospels and Acts, the Pauline epistles and non-Pauline epistles. We will look in some detail at the literary and historical background, as well as discussing the differences between Septuagint and Koine Greek. Interpretation as well as translation will play a major part in the unit.
