Part 3 of Translating German Texts with Logos
I am not a linguist. I have not studied pedagogy. I am not a native German speaker nor do I consider myself fluent. Furthermore, I have never taught German. So what I offer in this post is not the wisdom of an expert or even opinions of an aficionado. My aims and goals are simple: the exchange of resources, information, and tools from one student to another.

Let’s talk about Greek. And what you need to master it. To gain fluency.
Study. Years of hard labor bent over grammars and ancient texts. Speaking Ancient Greek with strangers on Skype. Dreaming in Koine.

Good. Then I want your participation in a project, one that will facilitate your exegesis.
The Brill Greek Reference Collection is a high-level academic powerhouse for anybody working in this, the language of the gods, the philosophers, Josephus, the New Testament.
This 5-volume collection is currently in pre-pub, and includes both:
I highly recommend that you add these elite resources to your digital research library. To posses them in hardcover sounds lovely, but, really?
Don’t let the Brill Greek Reference Collection molder on your shelf, become a display piece, sold off in a garage sale when you die.

Keep your bookshelves for Harry Potter.
The pre-pub price of the Brill Greek Reference Collection is currently $499.99, compared to the retail digital price of $899.99 and the retail print price of $1,709.
I’ll let you do the math, but those are huge savings. Take advantage.
And help get this powerful collection to publication today.

Today (Monday), tomorrow, and Wednesday are the last days remaining in which you can submit a proposal to the International Meeting of the Society of Biblical Literature, or ISBL.
This Summer, ISBL will be holding its meeting in none other than R-O-M-E.
That’s right. Rome, Italy. The seat of historic Christianity (except for those few years in Avignon, France). The epicenter of faith for centuries of believers. And the best travel experience you could offer your spouse for a summer holiday in 2019.
Get your proposals in now, and I hope to see you in Italy this coming July.
