A practical, hands-on course on how to read the Greek New Testament carefully—then a full worked example on John 3:16.
A six-week class: three sessions establishing the terms, principles, methods, and tools of New Testament exegesis, then three walking through a complete, step-by-step exegesis of John 3:16. Parts 2–3 and 4–6 each share a combined manuscript; every session has its own slides and audio.
