MNTG Reading Academy
The MNTG Reading Academy is a monthly reading program in which we read a book each month that is related to and supplements our learning of New Testament Greek. The types of books are governed by the interests of the community, but may include:
- Grammars
- Issues in Koine Greek (e.g. Septuagint studies)
- Church History
- Theology
- Hermeneutics
- Biblical Application
- And more
At the end of each month, we meet on a call to discuss our reading and learn from each others insights.
