Hello All, I was was excited today as I completed the Biblical Greek Foundational Study Bundle and submitted my translation of John 1:1-18 to certificate@faithlife.com in an attempt to earn a certificate. I received a response indicating that the certificate program had been discontinued, which is disappointing. I've attached a copy of my translation here and I welcome any feedback. In addition to the Logos Mobile Ed courses, I also used the Mango Languages App, which has a lesson specifically for Koine Greek. This was extremely helpful to me.

  2. Both of you guys have done great work! The Greek in verse 4 has a period before ὃ γέγονεν and you translated it accordingly. Most translations translate it as if it comes after. It is an interesting conversation. I would be happy to have a live conversation (group video chat) and discuss both your translations if you would like. I'm sorry that Logos has discontinued their certificate program. They really need to update the product pages to communicate this. I would be happy to testify to your accomplishment if you ever need a letter. Redemption Seminary would also provide some graduate transfer credit for your learning (if you where interested in doing more Mobile Ed within an accredited program.)

  3. That is very kind of you. I’d love to take you up on that offer to have a group video discussion. That would be great. And, yes, it is too bad that Logos discontinued the certificates. It’s such a nice thing to offer and I’m sure it can’t possibly take up that much staff time to handle.

  4. Dr. Schwandt, thank you for this affirmation. I appreciate the offer to chat with you about our translations, and I would very much like a letter from you testifying to the completion of this challenging Mobile Ed Course. Much like Tom Vidal, I started and stopped this coursework several times before I finally was able to complete it.
