Teaching Organisation This unit involves 150 hours of focused learning, or the equivalent of 10 hours per week for 15 weeks. The total includes formally structured learning activities such as lectures, tutorials, online learning, video-conferencing, or supervision. The remaining hours typically involve reading, research, and the preparation of tasks for assessment.

A basic knowledge of the biblical languages is helpful for students of the Christian Scriptures. This unit aims to provide an introductory understanding of Biblical Hebrew and Koine Greek so that students may be better able to understand the secondary literature on the texts of Scripture and to enhance their exegesis of the Bible. Students will be able to use Bible software tools, analytical lexicons, word dictionaries and other language resources by understanding the basic alphabets, key words, grammar and syntax of these languages.
