Biblical Greek (9-12th grades) –
Bill Barr; Tuesday/Thursday; 8/31-12/9/10 and 1/11-4/21/11;
2:15-3:45pm. The aim of the course is to equip students, young people
and adults, to look through a Greek text or Interlinear Translation of
the Bible and understand not only what is said, but also what is
actually meant by the text. All ancient Greek courses are Greek for
Dummies. As an inducement to persevere when the going gets tough,
chapters in the text begin with insights into scriptural passages,
succinct reminders of why the instruction is of importance to student
and instructor alike. Language acquisition
proceeds through inductive instruction and learning the complexities of
Greek grammar. The basis for classroom
work lies in parsing, discerning patterns, reviewing rules and correctly
interpreting the Greek texts, usually from a
New Testament passage. As well, the class will be exposed to
English translations from passages in the Greek
New Testament and the Septuagint
in simple exegetical exercises. Daily lessons are reinforced through
workbook assignments keyed to the assigned text. While Biblical Greek
is neither taught by a genius nor meant only for the extraordinary
pupil, this is a demanding course. The potential for application in life
is great, and the rewards are obvious to the Christian student. May God
bless us in learning His words. Textbooks: W.D. Mounce's
Basics of
Biblical Greek Grammar,
along with the
Basics of
Biblical Greek Workbook
and flash cards. This course may
be counted as ½-credit per semester on the high school transcript.

Bill Barr; Tuesday; 8/31-11/16/10 and 1/18-4/12/11; 9:30-10:30am. This
two semester course covers Formal Logic and Advanced Formal Logic.
Formal Logic is a study of the form or structure of reasoning. In this
first semester of a four semester series, we will begin with the
definition of Logic and the components of an argument. This will lead
into the study of Apprehension (term), Judgment (proposition), and
Deductive Inference (syllogism). The
spring semester covers the four figures of the traditional syllogism,
the three forms of rhetorical arguments (called enthymemes), the three
kinds of hypothetical syllogisms, the four kinds of complex syllogisms,
as well as relational arguments.

During the second semester, using Aristotle's
Rhetoric, students will
study the fundamental principles of political philosophy, ethics, and
traditional psychology.
