NT 003 Course at a Glance

Greek 3

Lecturing Faculty: David Briones

Effective for the 2024-2025 Academic Year


Course Description

Greek 3 prepares students for further work in the New Testament by giving them a reading knowledge of Kione Greek along with the skills necessary for our method of Discourse Analysis. Biblical languages and D.A. are critical for responsible exegesis, and exegesis is the foundation of Biblical and Systematic theology. Greek 3 is therefore an essential prerequisite for all other classes at Westminster for the M.Div. and M.A.R degrees.
