Puritan Board Freshman
Everyone,
I will be headed to Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary after I retire from the military. However, this won't be for another 5 years or so. I know that Greenville is heavy on the languages (as they should be), and I do not have any familiarity with the languages other than personal study with concordances and such. I am looking to get started on some good Greek/Hebrew study tools, and hope to maybe even learn from a mentor who may be able to help.
The elders at my church are not well-versed in the languages. One of them is currently studying at RTS via distance, but I do not think that he has come to any language courses yet.
Here's my question. Does anyone on the board know of any good Greek/Hebrew resources that I can tackle and get my feet wet on for the next few years to prepare myself? I am aware of Mounce and others, I just don't want to bite off more than I can chew as I am really in the beginning stages.
Also, would it be beneficial to try to take some Greek and Hebrew online? I figure it might be good to get some coursework done before I retire, as I will be in my mid-40s by the time I finish seminary.
Any help from the board would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
