Overview and Objectives
Anything long and difficult (such as learning a language!) requires a good start. In this first lesson, Dr. Mounce introduces the course and offers important pointers on how to approach this honorable task. Set your foundation for the whole course by identifying both the why and the how. Why are you learning Greek, and how do you plan to do it? Dr. Mounce gives both realistic and encouraging advice as you begin.
When you complete this lesson, you should be able to do the following:
- Identify the purpose for Mounce’s Grammar.
- Appreciate Mounce’s overall approach to teaching Greek.
- Put biblical (Koine) Greek in the context and history of the Greek language.
- Write your purpose for learning Greek.
- Commit yourself to consistent and persistent study.
As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
Dr. Mounce argues that the Gospel “does not belong to the erudite alone; it belongs to all people.” On what does he base this conclusion and how should this guide those who preach and teach from the Greek text?
