Building upon basic skills acquired in previous study, this unit presents the further grammatical material and vocabulary necessary to be able to read and translate the Gospels of Mark and John. While formal grammar continues to be presented, such that by the end of the semester the contents of Duff’s The Elements of New Testament Greek, 3rd ed. will have been taught, the aim is to illustrate and integrate progressively such learning and skills into the reading and analysis of the Gospels.
