A study of advanced Greek syntax, with special attention focused OB precise verb tenses and the meaning and usage of prepositions. Each student is required to do an exhaustive study of several prepositions and prepare a research paper detailing his conclusions regarding their meanings and the factors which led him to his conclusions. The instructor tailors his lectures to the students in order to correct their particular deficiencies and to train them to be more skilled translators of the Greek New Testament. Students study the Gospel of John and other portions of the Greek New Testament from the Greek text, and the class translates portions of the New Testament into English.
