Learn More About Sharon's Experience:

Bible studies Having been raised in a Christian family, I gained a sound factual knowledge of the Bible (as well as faith!!) from my youngest days. Since then I have completed two diplomas and a Masters in Biblical Studies, worked as a Bible Translator (in an interdenominational mission organisation) and as Senior Editor of a series of Bible Commentaries. I am currently training as a lay minister for my denomination. I have taught Sunday School for various ages, led Bible studies and currently serve as Christian Education liaison on the council of my local church. Greek I started my Greek studies at age 12. In the next 4 years (leading to the first level of national exams in the UK), I studied Classical Greek (grammar, translation, Homer, Ancient Greek history and mythology). Greek then became a hobby until I started preparing to work in Bible translation. During training, I studied New Testament Greek (receiving the Greek prize at my college). I further increased my competence during my Masters degree studies. As a Bible translator, I used Greek daily in the understanding of the passages to tranlate. I combine not only a solid understanding of the language itself (grammar, vocabulary, etc.) but a knowledge of the culture and milieu in which the language was spoken and the literature that is part of our heritage.
