the public debates held in Greek
the focus on real language skills, rather than arcane geek-o-crat emphasis that will satisfy publish or perish
the inability of so many of our modern scholars to actually speak Greek
how even simple language immersion (which at least can create fluency) barely exists in Biblical Greek studies
how Biblical Greek got derailed by nonsense like the Granville Sharp Rule for Fools
examples of the silliness that passes for Biblical Greek scholarship today
the example of Eugenius Bulgaris and the heavenly witnesses, how a truly fluent Greek scholar expert relates to the interface of language and text.
how lexicon scholars can always make lexical excuses
(because they do not speak the languages)

Now, I really do not think that anything will change the view of the dyed-in-the-wool modern seminarian, but at least an attempt can be made to show the superb excellence of the Reformation Bible studies.
