- This course is primarily about how to do real Greek study using the tools available in Logos (somewhat) and not a course designed to teach you Biblical Greek. H. Daniel Zacharias clearly knows his stuff and walks you through many examples and illustrations of why and how you use particular works and some of the common problems to avoid for those of us who do not have a seminary degree or formal education in Greek. But it assumes a pretty broad library (I've definitely added a bunch of other resources to my library from what I learned) and the biggest issue for me was this appears to have been developed with Logos version 7 or 8. So the ways he shows you to use something do not always work and then you need to spend some time in the help or forums to figure out the way to do it in the current version when it is not readily apparent. Overall it is a really good resource. It recommends the Academic Platinum edition but I really just wish it would list the particular resources needed (like the BDAG lexicon, the TDNT dictionary and the NIDNTTE dictionary as examples) and I wish it was more up to date or at the very least had a "Using these features In Logos 10" that showed how to do some of these tasks (like bringing up the grid view for multiple versions of the Bible) in the recent version.
- I am trying to learn Greek on my own and could use something like this. So, you would recommend it? Thank you for the reply, JS
- I have been learning Greek on my own as well. I think it would probably be helpful to know the alphabet already but for the most part, the course is assuming you don't know much about Greek. I've been learning a lot and enjoying it, so I would say it is probably more useful to those of us who are learning on our own. If you already knew Greek well, I'm not sure the whole course would be as useful as some of the content is grammar focused (what do all those symbols really mean and verb tenses and the like) and not just using the tools.
- Thank you brother. What tutorials you are using for Greek? I found a video tutorial by this author that covers Greek for under $20. I intentionally left this vague because I am not sure if I can post it here...
