In seminary I had some really good greek flash cards. Are there Latin equivalents, preferably ones that are easy to order?

This may explain the old adage about Baptists being Methodists with shoes, and Presbyterians being Baptists who can read. To round out the adage, Lutherans might qualify as Presbyterians who drink to excess, and Episcopalians as Lutherans who know when to say when. - D.G. Hart

The Wheelocks looks good, but too expensive.

The academic study looks neat.

I am making my own at the moment. I have about 25 down.

If you don't already have Richard Muller's Dictionary of Latin and Greek Theological Terms, I would pick it up. You could focus on the common Latin theological terms and see the story behind them. Good stuff and a good price.

Vera theologia non theoretica, sed practica est; Finis siquidem eius agere est hoc est vitam vivere deiformem. - Martin Bucer
""True theology is not theoretical, but practical. The end of it is living, that is to live a godly life."

So what you are telling me is to cut out the latin words on the paper and paste them onto notecards?

I make my own on 3x5 cards. It doesn't take long and you learn them as you write them out.

I've also found that constantly reading and rereading passages of text is the easiest way to get the vocabulary down, and one develops a good feel for syntax at the same time. The only downside of this is that one does not see all of a verb's principle parts when reading passages.

Precisely.

Does anyone know if there's a template for Word for creating flashcards?

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)

Thanks, Fred!

You'll have to fight me for them.

Jacob and David, which of you is goethe713 and which is mrsimplepleasures?

There is. In Word 2003:

1. Click Tools
2. Click Letters and Mailings
3. Click Envelopes and Labels
4. Click on the Labels Tab
5. Click Options
6. Before you pick the Product Number - go to the local office supply store and pick out the package of flash card stock you want to use - business card stock works well...but of course this will also add up the cost. You can just as easy print them out on plain paper. They are more flimsy but will ultimately save money.
7. Pick Product Number: 5371 - Business Card
8. Click OK
9. Verify that Full Page of Same Label is selected and Click New Document
10. If you are printing these out on regular paper you need to turn the outlines on so you have a guide to cut on.
11. Click Table on the top menu bar
12. Click Table Properties
13. Click Borders and Shading
14. Click Setting: All
15. Click OK
16. Now the trick is to do another page of cards and inverse the order so when you run the paper through the printer again, the flash cards will be accurate from front to back.

Thus concludes today's flash card seminar. Hope it helps. If you want, I can shoot a video of this on my computer and upload it for all to watch.

I am neither.
