Learning to Read N.T. Greek 4 semester credits

Without a doubt the best way to study the New Testament is to read it in the original language. This course was developed in Uganda for students who were not native English speakers, and thus was produced in a simplified grammatical format. The consequences are that the average western student will be able to read portions from the Greek New Testament after a few lessons. The course is built around an audio tape series and textbook produced by the Bible Society in England and Wales. The student will work through the exercises and audio teaching sessions, while completing the Greek reading and exegesis exercises. Lest people faint at the thought of such a task, it needs to be stated that the course was designed for non-native English speakers who do not have the benefit of westernized higher education.

Vision for the Nations 4 semester credits

It has been said that we are living an a shrinking world, and that the age of modern travel has brought our neighbor within a few hours' jet travel. The electronic information revolution taking place is making every remote place instantly reachable. No longer can we choose to be isolationist and ignore the needs of our brothers and sisters in far flung and remote lands. This course will expose the student to a pivotal understanding of the heartbeat of God for a lost and dying world. Without a living relationship with the One True Living God and the experience of forgiveness of sin by the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ - the first born Son of God, men, women, boys and girls are doomed forever to a lost eternity. This course is in essence a

mini-version of the "Perspectives on the World Christian Movement" module. It consists of 12 videotaped lessons, that will bring the student into an awareness of the Eternal Purposes of the Father.
