About the Instructor.
Welcome! I’m Colton Moore, and if you are a Christian, then you, like me, are a sheep sitting underneath the Good Shepherd. We listen for the Shepherd’s voice within the Scriptures, yet we often wander from him. But he never lets us wander too far—he always brings us back by calling us. We hear his voice, and we know it is him precisely because we are his sheep.
“My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me [Τὰ πρόβατα τὰ ἐμὰ τῆς φωνῆς μου ἀκούει κἀγὼ γινώσκω αὐτά, καὶ ἀκολουθοῦσίν μοι]” (John 10:27).
In my eight years of studying, teaching, and publishing in the realm of biblical Greek, Scripture, and theology, I can confidently say learning Greek (and Latin and Hebrew) has been the most useful—and most delightful—skill God has ever allowed me to learn. Through much toil, it has yielded fruit a hundredfold.
I am currently enrolled in the doctoral program at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and I have taught Greek, Latin, Bible, English Literature and Hermeneutics. Additionally, I have just co-authored a book with Joe Ben House: Beyond the Horizon: An Appeal to Parents for Classical Christian Education (Wilmore, KY: GlossaHouse, 2024). I have taught students ranging from sixth-grade to Master’s Degree students. I have published several peer-reviewed articles dealing with Greek textual criticism, the Greek Old Testament and Augustine of Hippo, the Reformation, and Scripture. You can see my CV below.
