- Earn a certificate that marks the full arc of original-language biblical study, from first alphabet to fluent reading
Most Bible students spend their entire lives one step removed from the text — reading translations chosen by someone else, trusting footnotes they can't verify, and wondering what the original really says. This certificate changes that. You begin at the absolute beginning: the Hebrew alphabet. From there, you move through foundational and intermediate Biblical Hebrew, learning to read the Old Testament with your own eyes across poetry, narrative, law, and prophecy. By the time you finish the Hebrew sequence, you're not just parsing forms — you're sitting with the text.
Then the journey pivots to Greek. You'll build the alphabet first, then master the grammar and vocabulary of Koine Greek before stepping into sustained, independent reading of the New Testament. No shortcuts, no watered-down drills — just the rigorous, text-first progression that actually produces readers. Finally, you'll close the certificate with Biblical Aramaic, unlocking the passages in Ezra and Daniel that even most seminary graduates have never read in the original.
Each school in this sequence is designed to build on the last. The order is intentional: Hebrew first grounds you in the Semitic world; Greek broadens your linguistic range; Aramaic, with its kinship to Hebrew, arrives at the moment you're best equipped to absorb it. By the end, you won't just know about the biblical languages — you'll be a reader of them.
