It’s all Greek to me

Sorry I’ve been gone for so long (over two weeks now!). I’ve been pretty busy at work, and given the nature of my project (ie, a lot of fun), I’ve also been working at home a bit. You can see my Wagon handiwork by clicking the 3d demo button underneath the T3 Traveler on the page.

Anyways, enough of excuses. A few things have been leading me back towards the desire to attend seminary sooner rather than later, so I’ve been doing some digging into what it will take to earn my M.Div (Masters of Divinity) at Trinity. Answer: knowledge of Greek, plus 96 hours of classes and some other stuff (internships and the like). Since Kent State would charge me about $1500 per semester to learn Greek, I’m off to finding a way to teach myself.

A pastor friend of mine suggested that I buy “Mounce’s Greek,” which would teach me pretty much all I need to know, but I love computers and hate spending money. SOOOooo, I dug, and dug, and dug around the internet, and I found an amazing resource by a lady at the University of Houston. Apparently, she has three entire semesters of her Biblical Greek classes posted online, and encourages people like me to work through it and learn for free! Booyeah.

So far I’ve found that there’s a ton of good stuff, from mp3s of pronunciations, to a vary well-organized methodology of learning the language. I’m excited to keep going here, and I highly recommend that anyone who is interested to come learn Greek with me.
