Well,.....Monday morning I go back to school. I completed my doctorate in 07 but it's been 15 years since I've formally studied Greek. So, I'm going to my seminary (alma mater) for six weeks this summer to refresh. Mounce is the key text. Then, it's off to study PhD in Practical Theology from Auckland Park SA with North-West University. Past two weeks I've worked thru chapter 11 in Mounce. We'll see how fast it comes back!!
Thus far Greek has been really good. (one week down and five to-3hrs a day 5 days a week). Premature Question: should I even be considering signing up for Greek 3 this fall? It's third year syntax and book study in Philippians. My phd that I'm enrolling in Oct 31st is in Pentecostal theology- dissertation only. I'm writing toward a pentecostal Theol of leadership. Greek 3 and Philippians are really necessary. (I don't think). My primary focus in my phd will be practical theology, not NT. Phd doesn't officially start until January. Money isnt an issue. I will simply be auditing or sitting in for free since I don't need it on a transcript. Advice, thoughts?
Greek 1 down. (105 average) Greek 2 begins next week- already working ahead. 90% certain I'm doing Greek 3 in the fall (if it makes as a class). Phd will fire up in November.
