[NABS-L] Hebrew and Greek?

Wed Mar 23 16:50:21 UTC 2022

Hey, sorry for the late response. I'm at Midwestern Seminary, so sort of a sister school.
Let me reach out to my pastor friend and see if I can get you connected. I'm totally blind and I took the Greek classes completely online. I had a Greek textbook and I've gotten the Greek New Testament in Braille. I think Justin mentioned Sarah Blake Larose--she's awesome. Had a real good experience getting the Greek New Testament from her.
Like I said, I'll reach out to my pastor friend and get back with you soon.

Luke

Hi Luke,

Thanks for your response. 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.

Right now, I'm attending New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary online. I'm working toward a M.A. in Christian Apologetics. 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. 
Right now, I have a 4.0 at New Orleans; and, as much as I'm considering taking Hebrew and Greek, I'd hate to have that be what makes the 4.0 disappear. Maybe I oughta wait until Dallas ...

 Hi, Mike. I've taken two biblical Greek classes, and I had a good experience with them. I got the textbook in Braille. Without that, I don't think I could have completed the classes. I was taking them online, and screen readers (at least JAWS and NVDA) do not seem to like Greek vowels with accents or breathing marks.  I had some trouble with the tests, but the accessibility department was able to add audio files to the test that had someone reading the question. So by listening, I was able to work through the questions. I haven't taken Hebrew, but I know a pastor who is blind that has used both Braille Greek and Hebrew.
Feel free to email me with any other questions or if you want more details.

Hi everyone,

I'm writing to see if there's anyone on the listserv who have or are currently taking Hebrew and/or Greek at a Bible college or seminary. I've spoken with a former seminary professor who told me the languages are very visual. How visual are they? What types of accommodations have you requested and gotten for these classes? Any recommendations and suggestions about how I can successfully take these courses and do well would be very much appreciated. I know there's a way; I just have to figure out how as I did with Logic a few years ago.

Thanks.

Mike
