I would like to see a Mobile Ed course on English Grammar aimed at English Bible readers. It would delve into all the aspects of the English language as it pertains to grammar, syntax & the English Bible. It would also have a strong emphasis on teaching Reed-Kellogg diagraming in order to brake done verses, pericopes & chapters in order to see how every word, phrase, clause & sentence is functioning grammatically in order to facilitate a better interpretation of the text of scripture.
While I understand that the learning of the original languages of the Bible are a priority as they rightly should be, however, many Christians in the English world:
1. don’t know Greek/Hebrew,
2. don’t have a desire to learn Greek/Hebrew, &
3. don’t know the grammar of their native tongue despite reading, writing & speaking the language fluently.
Secondly, this English Grammar course could also be used for those that are preparing to learn Greek & Hebrew. As having a firm understanding of one’s native tongue can better facilitate the learning of a foreign language, for instance knowing what a relative clause in English will help them to understand what a relative clause is in Greek & Hebrew.
