Summary

Kevin Grasso and Nick Messmer have pioneered a unique online platform for learning biblical languages, namely Biblingo. It incorporates methods and tools from second-language application theory, pedagogy and more besides. In this episode, Chris Tilling chats with Kevin, who has been on OnScript before to talk about his essay on the so-called πίστις Χριστοῦ debate. Among other things we discuss biblical language acquisition, the helpful influence of contemporary linguistics, what Biblingo offers, various pedagogical issues, and how Biblingo compares with related course. The post Navigating Biblical Languages – Kevin Grasso first appeared on OnScript.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Onscript podcast, your home for world-class conversations on scripture and theology, where you get to meet some of the best in the field.
0:10.4	Visit us at OnScript. Study. Say hello on Twitter at OnScript Podcast and stop by our Facebook page at facebook.com slash unscript.
0:20.0	Hey everyone. Welcome back to the Oncript podcast. This is Matt Lynch coming
0:23.4	to you from Regent College in Vancouver. Thanks so much for tuning in. Today we have Chris Tilling,
0:29.1	bringing an episode. I know a lot of you thought he went dormant, but know he's alive and well.
0:35.1	And so grateful to Chris for an episode. And I also want to just ask if you
0:43.1	could help us as we move into the holiday season to share the word about OnScript. If you
0:48.8	have listened to us in the past, you know that that's a great time of year to disseminate the
0:53.5	good news of what we're
0:55.1	trying to do here at the podcast. One idea, just to throw one out there, is if you're gathered
1:00.6	around the table and the discussion starts to get tense, let's say it turns to politics or
1:05.7	vaccines or mask mandates and, you know, the opinions are divisive and heated. That's your moment.
1:14.8	That's your moment to stand up and say, I think we can all agree that we need to vaccinate
1:20.7	against theological ignorance. And one way that we can do that is listen to OnScript and then get your phone ready and just hit play, start an episode, maybe even this one. And I think that could serve as a rallying point for promoting family units in a divided era that we live in. So that's just one idea and it would also help us out because it'll get the
1:44.9	word out there about what we're doing. One other important announcement that I want to make here
1:49.7	is that at the annual Society of Biblical Literature meeting in San Antonio, which is held in
1:56.1	conjunction with the American Academy of Religion, we're going to be holding a live on-script event there.
2:02.9	And it's sponsored by InterVarsity Press, which we're grateful to them for.
2:06.8	And we'll fill you in on details, but it's going to be on Monday the 22nd of November in San Antonio,
2:13.8	probably at 9 p.m.
2:16.8	And we'll have a live recording and a chance to connect with some of you.
2:20.4	So if you already are planning to attend AAR, SBL, or live in the San Antonio area,
