This advanced seminar builds on foundational STS seminar's phrase diagramming skills by expanding visual analysis from the sentence level to deeper grammatical and structural observation. Students will continue diagramming sentences while adding two additional layers of complexity: identifying the mood of the Greek verb to differentiate between main verbs and participles to clarify clause structure, and diagramming at the level of syntax and discourse flow to recognize larger movements of thought. Students will apply this methodology through guided study of the book of Romans, observing how grammatical structure supports theological argument, doctrinal explanation, and pastoral application throughout the letter. The course strengthens students’ ability to observe complex passages while maintaining accessibility for those without extensive prior language training.
