NT 003 Course at a Glance (2025)

Greek 3

Lectures By: Dr. David Briones

3 Credits

Course Description

Greek 3 prepares students for further work in the New Testament by giving them a reading knowledge of Koine Greek along with the skills necessary for our method of Discourse Analysis (D.A.). Biblical languages and D.A. are critical for responsible exegesis, and exegesis is the foundation of Biblical and Systematic theology. Greek 3 is therefore an essential prerequisite for all other classes at Westminster for the M.Div. and M.A.R degrees.
