[NABS-L] Hebrew and Greek?

[Justin Heard]

Just another perspective. Because you're looking into a THM at another 
seminary, your 4.0 isn't that big of a deal. As long as you don't wreck 
it, you should get in the program, unless it's very competitive. It 
depends on what kind of THM program it is, but I would think that having 
some basic knowledge of Hebrew and Greek would be better going in, since 
it's an advanced program, though that depends on how much the program 
relies on the languages. I recommend talking to someone from admissions. 
they could give you some useful tips.

I'm curious how the blind pastor did Hebrew and Greek (textbooks, tests, assignments, etc.) For both languages I have two options: a totally internet-based course with an online professor or a live classroom course on the internet. I'm sure I could work out a way to do oral exams.

Even tough Hebrew and Greek aren't required, I'm thinking about learning them because I want to evangelize members of other religions and teach folks in the church how to do so. After New Orleans, I'm going to apply to Dallas Theological Seminary to get a Th.M. They'll let some courses transfer over and I figured if I did Hebrew and Greek at New Orleans, this would give me less to take at Dalls.
