On summer Greek for seminary students:
The policy of Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS
(very closely aligned with Calvin Seminary) was that the
seminarians know enough Greek to be able to use the handbooks
or tools (helps?) and the commentaries to muddle through
a few words of the Greek ... if they had demanded serious
knowledge of the Greek or serious exegesis there would
have been a mass exodus from seminary.  Small Greek and
less Hebrew could have been the motto.  In other words,
yes, I think 10 weeks CAN prepare seminary-bound students,
the way things are.
