CHILDREN'S GREEK


Children learning Biblical Greek? I know, it may seem to you like an impossibility for a child to learn such a language. Sadly, for many children this may be true. If during the early and formative years of a child's life, they child spend a significant amount of their time watching TV, playing video games, and engaging in other mind-numbing activities instead of exercising the mind and training it to think critically, then it will be exceedingly difficult to learn NTG. This is exactly the problem for many adults as well. Some of us have become products of our mentally-lazy and no-effort generation, and as such, we often cringe at the thought of learning a foreign tongue. We think, "Oh, that's just too hard for me, I could never do that" or "That's for pastors" or "I didn't go to seminary", etc. Anyone can learn Biblical Greek, and a child certainly has an advantage and head start over an adult. This language is far more accessible to the average person than is commonly believed. It can be learned! Why not teach it to your child so that they can read the NT in its original language?

Main Course
(This course is designed for self study in children. It really shines in a home-school type setting. If the parent has any knowledge of basic biblical Greek then it will be easier to walk your child through the materials. The wonderful thing about learning this way is there is no rush, unlike with classroom or seminary settings where knowledge is quickly lost due to the cramming style. This course is designed to be used generally with children ages 8+)

If the parent knows Greek, this book can serve to be a very helpful guide for children ages 10+ who have a simple understanding of basic English grammar.

Greek Quotes:

Another result when pastors do not study the Bible in Greek and Hebrew is that they, and their churches with them, tend to become second-handers. The harder it is for us to get at the original meaning of the Bible, the more we will revert to the secondary literature. For one thing, it is easier to read. It also gives us a superficial glow that we are “keeping up” on things. And it provides us with ideas and insights which we can’t dig out of the original for ourselves. - John Piper

Not only is this the only well from which we can draw the original force and meaning of the words and phrases of divine utterance, but also those languages (Hebrew & Greek) possess a weight of their own – a vividness which brings home to the understanding fine shades of meaning with power which cannot survive the passage into another tongue. - John Owen
