Greetings from St. Louis. I’m grateful to have found this forum. I am attempting to gain such facility with Latin that will allow me to read Reformation and post-Reformation texts. Unfortunately, I do not have the resources to join a class at present. Thus, I have corralled a few resources to begin my journey. For background, in seminary I studied Greek and Hebrew. I have maintained Greek sufficient to read and translate with some resources.
I have realized that, while I have the ability to learn and understand, I struggle when there is not a community supporting that learning. Thus, I’m looking for someone to assist me by checking in or answering questions. I will be using Cursus Linguae Latinae Vivae to gain correct pronunciation of ecclesiastical Latin. I have used Moreland and Fleischer to gain an understanding of the grammar. I plan to maintain a use of this resource, though I welcome criticism of this general approach.
I am open to the wisdom of others. Indeed, I desire it. If you see red flags in what I’ve noted, please let me know. If you have a better way than what I have indicated, please make that suggestion. Any help, guidance, and/or assistance in working toward reading Reformation and post-Reformation theology will be much appreciated.
Thank you for your help!
