I have always wanted to increase my knowledge about Christian religion and the Holy Bible. I feel overwhealmed by the amount of important information and minute detail regarding these topics. but instead of feeling dishoriented, I feel eager to start unravelling this holy yarn that will surely take me closer to the utmost truth, that is God, and the reality of the holy birth of His only begotten Son. In my opinion there are several ways to view and interpret the Bible. I have mine: I am a member of the Greek Orthodox Church; but I would like to make clear that I love and respect all other creeds, ways of worship that people might follow, being Christian or not. Bt, through this on-line course I hope to acquire a deeper knowlegde of the biblical Languages, especially Hebrew and New Testament Greek (I am fluent in Modern Greek, so that will help a bit). I am very interested in Patristics and Byzantine Theology. I love the Old Testament, and I would like to study in closer detail the history of the Kings of Israel and how God prepared the path for our Savior to come to this world. I would like also to study the New Testament aiming at having a closer look at the first three centuries of the Church of Christ. Regarding myself, I am 40 years old, I'm Brazilian, I teach Portuguese and English, and I am fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, Modern Greek and English. I hope you more experienced students help me in this quest for holy truth and I am sure our efforts will be heavenly blessed.
