A Plea to Classical Christian Educators and Homeschoolers to Teach Koine Greek, not Classical Greek
Dr. Alan Kurschner, , ExegesisA few years ago, I applied at a Christian high school that promotes “Classical Christian Education.” I applied to the job because I wanted to encourage them to change their curriculum to teach their Christian youth Koine Greek, the Greek the New Testament writers used. The school insisted that I teach classical Greek or Latin, and was not interested in

The Blessedness of Blindness?
James White, , ExegesisI was translating John 9 last night before going to bed, and was struck by the following dialogue (super-functional translation warning): The blind man said to Jesus, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshipped Jesus. Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who do not see may see, and so that those who see may become

Then we looked at the cooperation of some (to me) local Reformed Baptists with Steven Anderson and how odd that is, took two phone calls (one on spiritual
A Quick Tip on Doing Exegesis…
Dr. Alan Kurschner, , ExegesisExegesis (i.e. biblical interpretation) has never been about “possibility.” It has always been about “probability.” I frequently come across interpretive conclusions where the language of “possibility” is invoked, by both those who read Greek and Hebrew, and those who don’t.
