COURSE SYNOPSIS
Biblical Greek Readings and Exegesis I and II form the second year of the Biblical Greek curriculum. They build on the vocabulary and grammar (morphology and syntax) learned in BG111-112 (Biblical Greek 1 and 2), AND the exegetical method introduced in HE101 (Biblical Hermeneutics and Interpretation). Using various New Testament texts as our “learning sites”, students will develop their ability to read Biblical Greek, and gain further experience in the methods and tools involved in exegeting the New Testament.
Prerequisites and Co-Requisites
The student MUST have completed BG111-112 (or their equivalents) and BG211. If the student completed BG111-112 more than 2 years ago, a qualifying test MAY be required. For maximum benefit, the student SHOULD have completed HE101.
COURSE REGISTRATION & ASSIGNMENT POLICIES
Please note that with effect for courses commencing from Jan 2012 (AY2011 Term 3) onwards:
- A student will only be registered for the course after he has submitted both his course registration form and course fees.
- The 1- and 3- month deadline for Full Time and Part Time Students respectively will still apply. After the first deadline, students will be granted a further 3 months deadline extension automatically. The specific overdue assignment, however, will incur a penalty of a 1/3 grade deduction. For example, an overdue essay submitted by the end of the 6th month, will be downgraded from B+ to B. At the end of this deadline extension, no further extensions will be allowed. The status of the incomplete course will be converted from Credit to Audit. This conversion will not affect the student’s GPA.
