The 2019 Zondervan Greek Award Winner

Each year, Zondervan Publishers partners with universities and seminaries across the country to honor students who have worked exceptionally hard in the biblical languages. Given the foundational importance of these languages for theology and ministry, Phoenix Seminary has joined with Zondervan to encourage our students to excel in their study of Greek.
