Course Overview
A Verse-by-Verse Commentary and Translation
The Letter of 2 John is a wonderful letter to study in depth. It is rather brief, it is enjoyable to read, and it is very interesting and informative. And this course offers everything needed to successfully and confidently translate the Letter of 2 John from the Greek New Testament. No matter what your level of Greek is, you will learn a lot in this course, and you will find it enriching. So, let's get started!
I have been teaching Biblical Greek for more than a decade, and I also have a lot of first-hand experience leading groups in Greece and surrounding Biblical locations. I love teaching Greek, and I also love bringing out highlights from my travels abroad in Biblical locations.
By means of videos and translation guides, you will receive a verse-by-verse translation and commentary of the Biblical Greek found in this letter. All of the vocabulary and grammatical concepts will be explained in full. There are also quizzes corresponding to each verse of the Letter. This is an amazing opportunity to study the Greek of the Bible verse-by-verse. By the time you finish this course, you will be ready to begin translating additional books of the Greek New Testament on your own.

I enjoyed this course. Although I don't yet know much Greek, I was able to follow along, learn some new words and grammar, and think more deeply about the text of 2 John. I also liked his use of the modern Greek pronunciation which I prefer.

Teacher is very energetic and content is very direct & informative. I'm still a ruthless Pagan but I'm enjoying the course! Greek grammar is really confusing especially when trying to study from a textbook or online guides so it's great to have someone just step through a reading and explain what patterns they're seeing and how they're coming to their conclusions.

Thank you, Dr. Cooper, for this short but wonderful translation course. The grammar explanation and verse translation are very clear and easy to understand. Reading the Bible verses with modern Greek pronunciation pointed out another advantage of learning Greek that may be useful in real life situations, either through traveling or meeting Greek people.

After studying New Testament Greek for quite a few years, I still wasn't able to effectively translate Scripture from the Greek New Testament. I have learned more about translating the GNT from completing Dr. Cooper's course, than I learned in all the years I have been studying NT Greek. Dr. Cooper put everything together for me. He is an amazing teacher. Hopefully, he will have additional translation courses in the near future. I was on the verge of giving up my studies of NT Greek until I took this course. Now, I believe I can effectively continue with my studies.
