Elementary Greek II
Move from basic Greek to translating complete New Testament passages — the second half of ACU's foundational Greek sequence.
Course Description
GRK 312 picks up where GRK 311 left off and pushes Greek study to a new level: by the end of the course, students can begin translating complete passages from the Greek New Testament rather than just isolated verses.
The course covers the rest of the basic Greek morphology and syntax — the verb forms, sentence patterns, and grammatical structures that GRK 311 didn't have time to cover — and works them out through steady translation practice. Students leave with the working knowledge of New Testament Greek that any further biblical or theological study assumes.

Biblical Worldview Connection
The discipline of working in Greek over two semesters is itself formative. It trains students to slow down, attend carefully to what the text actually says, and resist the easy gloss — habits that make for better Bible students whether or not students continue with Greek beyond GRK 312.
