Description
This non-credit course offers an intensive introduction to German grammar, syntax and morphology for reading German at the graduate level. Vocabulary pertinent to the study of theology will be emphasized, and readings will include, in addition to historical, literary and critical discourse, shorter excerpts from works by theologians such as Bonhoeffer, Thielecke, Barth, and Moltmann. Open to beginners or intermediate students (i.e. students with fewer than 2 years of recent formal college-level German) with preference given to students enrolled at Luther Seminary.
