The United Bible Societies 4th edition and Nestle, Aland 27th edition are available in the bookstore. From there we will move to a more in-depth reading of selected portions of the lectionary passages, observing additional features of the language in context. There will be a core of work expected of all students with additional assignments for those taking the course for two or three credits. Some class time may be spent on sight translation and, when relevant, comparison of published translations with the Greek and with each other. It is recommended that complete written translations not be used in class, although notes on vocabulary and grammar may be used.
Attendance is necessary in order to benefit from class discussion and questions.
Again, though the amount of work may vary, what is done should be done carefully and thoroughly. This area is related to the preceding two. Students should gradually progress in their ability to handle the three areas listed under Objectives.
