CSDirectory.com Learning Center faculty member, Galen Goldsmith,teaches this series. Below is an outline of each session in the series. Attend by audio replay access at your convenience.

Description: The series will focus on the Lord's Prayer. We will also have on-line access to a project called One Bible, a tool that explains why the Greek text of Mark has been translated in various ways.

Class 1: The Gospels: We will begin with a discussion of how each gospel has a distinctive style that serves its message. We will then compare three versions of the Lord's prayer from Matthew, Mark and Luke. Assignment: Learn to use One Bible.

Class 2: History of the language: The New Testament is written in koine or common Greek, which everyone could understand. In some cases, a Greek word would take on a new and different meaning because of its place in the Christian message. Assignment: Learn to recognize and pronounce the letters of the Greek alphabet.

Class 3: Pronunciation of the Greek alphabet: students will begin to read by learning how to say the Lord's Prayer in Greek. Assignment: Vocabulary from the Lord's Prayer.

Class 4: Meaningful words: We will learn to look up Greek vocabulary words in Strong's Concordance lexicon and a theological dictionary of the New Testament. Assignment: Research on the spiritual meaning of your favorite vocabulary word(s).

Class 5: Greek grammar of Matthew's Lord's Prayer: Most beginning Greek students need a review of English grammar. We will discuss the basic parts of speech so that students will be able to understand the Greek prayer they have learned to say.

This series should provide students with the skill to pronounce Greek names and places when reading aloud, to learn more about New Testament concepts that interest them, and they will carry away new insights into the Lord's Prayer. Those who want to master New Testament Greek should be prepared for the study of grammar and vocabulary.
