<p>[QUOTE="Nathan B., post: 4564570, member: 112852"]Thank you, Kevin! I wish very much that I had majored in Classics. Over the years, I've done a very large amount of reading of Greek literature of various genres--but all of it in translation. That said, back in my religious days a long time ago, I managed to get a background in ancient Near Eastern history and languages (now mostly forgotten), and I did manage to squeeze in two years of New Testament Greek--so that does help a bit. </p><p><br /></p><p>On another note, I remember C.S. Lewis writing somewhere that he found the New Testament almost as easy as Xenophon, which was how he had been introduced to ancient Greek, too. I think Xenophon has been the standard for student readings for a very long time because of how straightforward his writing was. I think we are very fortunate to have so many of his texts with us![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
