Quote(Any serious student of the Bible needs to know Latin, Classical Greek, and Hebrew. That is not to say that he should not also be conversant with issues of exegesis as explored by centuries of scholars.)
People can know zero Latin, Greek and Hebrew, and yet understand the apostle Paul has a different first/chief importance of the gospel than the Christian seminaries.
That takes only understanding the language one learned as a child.. if they have a Bible in that same language.
And it would be interesting if the Christian seminaries would see their biggest threat at that point- the bible itself..
A twist of irony for the serious students of the bible to gnaw on..
Having met a few graduates with a master’s degrees from a liberal seminary, I find them rather hostile to a basic, exegetical reading of the Scriptures.
I know you are not surprised.
