The words behind the Word. The New Testament was written in Greek, and every teaching deck in this university stops at its key word — euangelion, hilastērion, pneuma — to open it up. Here those word studies, and the rest of the New Testament’s main vocabulary, are gathered into one training ground of 217 words, in five bands.
It works in two halves. First, study: open a band and learn its words — each with its meaning, Strong’s own definition, and a verse of Scripture with the very English word lit up that the Greek stands behind. Then, train: the Simulator drills you on the same band — word to meaning, meaning to word, and the verse itself — and any word you miss comes back again and again until you master it. Choose your ground:
The famous words every child of God meets first — love, faith, grace, the Word, the cross. Study them gently, then let the Simulator ask you. The decoys here are strangers from far-off families; nothing is trying to trick you.
28 words in the band
Open this level ›A real step up: the common words of the study Bible — apostle, covenant, justify, mercy, witness. The decoys come from other families of words entirely, and the band you must know has doubled.
44 words in the band
Open this level ›The working vocabulary of a man who feeds others: propitiation, reconciliation, election, foreknowledge — the very words the university’s decks stop to teach. Decoys now move into neighbouring meanings, where a vague knowledge begins to fail.
56 words in the band
Open this level ›Rather difficult: the fine distinctions — krinō against katakrinō, petra against petros, chronos against kairos, agathos against kalos. Every decoy lives in the same field of meaning as the answer, and only a true knowledge of each word keeps you standing.
49 words in the band
Open this level ›Another scale entirely. The obscurest words in the pool, near-twins that differ by a prefix or a single letter — and the transliteration is withheld until the reveal, so you must know the word itself, in its own letters, or not at all. Almost impossible, exactly as ordered.
40 words in the band
Open this level ›Every word here can be opened in full in the university’s Strong’s Concordance, with every verse where it occurs. The bands are drawn from the university’s own teaching decks — Romans, James, Revelation, Bible Doctrine, Church History — and the principal vocabulary of the Greek New Testament.
