Stephen R. DiTrolio Coakley interviews Dr. Juan Hernández, Jr., who chronicles how his research on the text of Revelation and his intellectual journey led to the development of his popular Introduction to Biblical Greek for Spanish Speakers course. Far from impractical, Dr. Hernández’s course attracts students from pastors to undergraduates. They learn more than just biblical exegesis and an ancient language—they engage the life of the mind.
