Online Learning Opportunity for 2026, Tuesday and Thursday evenings

Lutheran Theological Seminary - Australia is offering a wonderful low-cost opportunity for lay people and pre-seminary students to explore the New Testament in 2026. Dr Greg Lockwood will be teaching a full year in-depth Bible study of key New Testament books (John, Luke, Romans, 1 Corinthians) to members of LM-A and other interested parties.

To complement this series, a parallel class in extension Greek will be offered to pastors and lay people who have had at least one year of prior Koine Greek study. The Bible study will cover one New Testament book each “term” (nominally 10-12 weeks) with breaks corresponding to school holidays in South Australia.

All sessions will run 6 – 7:30pm Adelaide time via Circle, LM-A’s online community platform.

Tuesday evenings: Bible study in English (preferably ESV translation).

Thursday evenings: extension study in Greek, including extensive reading in the original language plus exegetical commentary/application. While not mandatory, Greek students are encouraged to also attend the English classes as they wil provide helpful context (i.e. the Greek material wi l build on the English material).

Required resources

English class: Study Bible (preferably The Lutheran Study Bible (ESV) or Concordia Self-Study Bible (NIV)).

Greek class: Greek New Testament.
