Another great class. Pete took us through an overview of “all” the verbal moods (well, the major four plus infinitive) to help us settle in on what the subjunctive mood was about. Good stuff. I’ll probably turn some of it into a PDF soon. (Done. See “update” below.)

I tore right through my first reading/translation verse of the night. Bam… nailed it. Yeah, I know, big whoop. Well, it is to me. :)

Doubling up on chapters again next week as we careen toward the end of the semester.

###Homework

– Read chapters 32-33
– Vocab for both (trivial)
– Wkbk: Parse 1-5 for each chapter
– Wkbk: Try to translate 1-5 for both (at least do 1-5 in 33)

###Preview

– What is infinitive and how is it formed
– Five ways infinitive is used
– What is imperative and how is it formed
– Understand **3rd** person imperative
– Five ways of saying “no” in Greek

###Recommendations

– P. H. Davids, *The First Epistle of Peter*, NICNT
– J. H. Elliott, *1 Peter*, Anchor
– J. R. Michaels, *1 Peter*, WBC
– E. G. Selwyn, *The First Epistle of St. Peter: The Greek Text with Introduction, Notes, and Essays*

###Audio!

Well, I initially did this for Nichole, but now that I’ve done it I think I’ll probably listen in again to a few parts: audio files! I recorded the class in three parts available here as MP3s: [instruction][1], [homework][2], [reading][3]. Please only download if you’re really going to listen. My server space is gratis and I don’t want to abuse the privilege. I only wired Pete, so you can barely hear our quesionts and comments, but that’s probably for the best, and his stuff is the good stuff anyway.

**UPDATE:** Here’s the [Greek Verb Moods chart][4] Pete made and was talking about during the “instruction” part of the class (mp3 available above).
