Its Greek to Me: An Introduction to New Testament Greek
Taught by Sister Mary Jean, CSM

The ability to read the Bible in the languages in which it was written has an eye-opening affect on the the study of scripture. New Testament Greek is accessible to the serious student with a little disciplined study. An experienced teacher of Greek and Latin, Sister Mary Jean has taught beginning New Testament Greek to clergy and lay students alike for the past three years at the convent.

This study encompasses two sections: a first-year class and an onoing practicum study for student to hone their skills.
