1700 Wade Hampton Blvd,Greenville SC 29614

14 April, 2022

Description

The Spring 2022 Greek Forum will feature a presentation by Dr. Rob Plummer. *No sign-up required, seating limited to 120* Will knowing Greek really help me in the ministry God has called me to? Is all this time and effort going to pay off? If you've had questions like these, you're not alone. Many who have studied (or thought about studying) biblical languages have wondered the exact same thing. And many have had their questions answered with a lifetime of fruitful exegesis with the help of the original languages. On April 14th, Rob Plummer will join us virtually to discuss these topics and more in his presentation on "The Necessity of Biblical Languages for Ministerial Training." Following the presentation, he will have a Q&A time. This workshop is open to all students, faculty, staff, and friends of the university—regardless of your level of experience with Greek! Whether you've been reading from your Greek New Testament for years or haven't even thought about studying Greek until now, Greek to Me is designed to provide helpful insight into the study of biblical languages.
