Announcement for Greek Teachers from BFS Committee Member Phil Brown

August 29, 2023 By Mark Ward

Phil Brown of the Bible Faculty Summit committee wishes to share the following with the Greek teachers on the Summit mailing list.

Jordash Kiffiak is one of the world’s foremost speakers of Koine Greek; he is doing much to advance the study and practice of Koine Greek as a living language—and he’s offering two courses you may want to know about.


τὸ ὄγδοον κεφάλαιον καὶ τὸ ἔνατον κατὰ Μαθθαῖον

This course looks at Matthew 8–9 in detail, where we see 10 miracles Jesus performs following the Sermon on the Mount, as well as conflicts with those who oppose him and his call for some to become his disciples. Participants will build listening and spoken fluency, hearing the teacher elucidate key aspects of the text, as well as discussing the stories in pairs and groups.

ἀνάγνωτε περὶ τῆς ἀγωγῆς Ἑλληνιστὶ ὧδε.

Time: Tuesdays 3:00pm-5:00pm EST (+ online self-guided material throughout the week)

Course dates: Sept 5, 12, 19, 26, Oct 3, 10, 17, 24, 31, Nov 7, 28, Dec 5, 12, 19. (No class on Nov 14, 21.)

Course duration: 14 weeks (28 hours live instruction)

Tuition: $546 (USD)

Register here.


ἐπιστολὴ πρὸς Φιλήμονα καὶ ἐπιστολὴ Ἰούδα

Questions of justice and correct teaching in the community of faith surround us, today. This course will look at two short letters in the New Testament that are particularly pertinent. Paul urges Philemon to receive Onesimus no longer as a slave but, now, as a brother. The letter resounds throughout the centuries. Judah (Jude) exhorts believers to contend for the holy faith, as false teachers abound, ruining people’s faith. Judah boldly addresses sexual immorality, including homosexuality. (Note this will be one of the most advanced courses I’ve taught.)

ἀνάγνωτε περὶ τῆς ἀγωγῆς Ἑλληνιστὶ ὧδε.

Time: Fridays 11am-1pm EST. Also, Sat Oct 16, 11am-1pm EST. (+ online self-guided material throughout the week)

Course dates: Sept 1, 8, 16 (Sat), 22, Oct 13, 20, 27, Nov 3, 10, 17, Dec 1, 8, 15, 22. (No class on Sept 15, 29, Oct 6, Nov 24.)

Course duration: 14 weeks (28 hours live instruction)

Tuition: $546 (USD)
