The Gospel of Mark is the earliest of the canonical Gospels and records stories of the teachings and miracles of Jesus of Nazareth. Written in Koine Greek, it is an excellent text for intermediate students of Greek or those interested in Biblical Greek. In this course, we will start reading from the beginning and get as far as we can, all while speaking and discussing the text in Ancient Greek. We will use paraphrases and circumlocutions in Greek rather than translating into English.
April 14 – June 16, 2026 (ten weeks in total, once a week)
Tuesdays, 20:00-21:00 Central European Time
