Glenn Balfour has taught New Testament Greek at Mattersey Hall since 1990. Over the last five years he has gradually developed his own set of notes and teaching methods for this at times difficult and complex subject. The culmination of this is the publication by Mattersey Hall of a new and exciting New Testament Greek textbook, A Step-by-Step Introduction to New Testament Greek. The book may be purchased from Mattersey Hall for £20.00 (plus p.& p.)

This is what Dr. John Drane, one of the college’s External Examiners, writes about the book: 'A Step-by-Step Introduction to New Testament Greek is accessible for students who begin their study of New Testament Greek not only with no previous knowledge of Greek, but no understanding of classical English grammar either. I am happy to commend this book to both teachers and students. It will stretch the minds of both, and enhance the experience of studying the New Testament in its original language.'

Mattersey Hall is delighted to announce the launch this September of three brand-new degree programmes. Our graduate school will introduce our MA in Mission, available full or part time, and at Undergraduate level we are providing even more potential options for our students to specialise in different aspects of Christian service and leadership with new BA (Hons) degrees in Christian Leadership and in Biblical Studies and Theology. Our new distance learning BTh scheduled for a spring launch completes an exciting package which reflects the dramatic changes we’ve gone through as a college. For more information on all these programmes, keep surfing through our site, or email us if you have any questions.

A special Christmas gift for all our friends, supporters, staff and students: the new Mattersey Hall website launches to the public on 23 December 2004, hopefully to great acclaim! We hope you’ll keep coming back to visit – all the latest college news and information will be hosted here, and we have great plans for the future. Soon you’ll be able to apply online to attend college, purchase distance learning courses and other products directly over the internet, and enjoy some interesting multimedia footage which will bring you closer than ever to us. Please let us know what you think about the site and if there’s anything you’d like to see added you can suggest it by emailing us.
