Koine Greek 2

Students will grow in their ability to read the Greek of the New Testament and other literature from the Hellenistic era (3rd century BC onwards) without first translating it by reading passages from different genres. They will review grammar and develop their understanding of how Greek works through regular composition. This course is suitable for those who have completed Greek 1 through Kepler or another course which covers nouns and adjectives in all declensions, and verbs in all tenses, voices and moods.
