I am pleased to announce that on this blog page, I will be blogging some New Testament Greek lessons for those who are passionate about the deep study of the New Testament Bible. These blogs will be tailor-made for those in academic studies, both undergraduate and post-graduate students. Since I have some other commitments as a priest in the Anglican Church, I will be blogging one lesson once a week. This will also help in ensuring that there is quality. Lessons will be formatted in four formats to give choices to our followers; first, notes will be in a text format; second, in PowerPoint format; third, in podcast format, and finally in downloadable pdf format.

Today, I will give you a list of references for consultation and this is important for academic study. Please note that plagiarism is a serious academic offense hence these lessons will always acknowledge sources at the end of the lesson.

My academic life in Biblical studies particularly New Testament Greek is indebted to the couple in the picture above. The couple came to Zimbabwe as missionaries teaching in seminaries at Bishop Gaul and Domboshawa Theological Colleges. Rosie laid the foundation for Biblical Greek in my academic life. Her skills, humor, and patients in teaching students a new language at a foundational level made me fall in love with the language. I am also grateful to professors D G Maclymont (University of Zimbabwe), Garwood Anderson (Nashotah House Theological Seminary), and Zorodzai Dube (University of Pretoria) for refining my greek at the university level.

Pictured below are my university professors.
