The goal toward which we’ll work at the far end of the second semester will be the ability to read, translate, and describe the various grammatical features in basic Hebrew narratives.

My plan is to spend time in Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes this year, beginning in the relatively easy narrative of Job 1 and progressing to harder poetic material.

The course will approach the study of an original biblical language from the perspective of worship expressed through reverent and responsible attention to the ends of transformation and proclamation.
