Events

Our popular intensive Biblical Hebrew week is held annually, running alongside the Greek in a Week course. You can choose from either the introductory course for beginners or the intermediate programme for those wanting to develop their grasp of the language. The sessions are interactive with time for questions, personal study, discussion - and fun, as you discover with others, the joy of reading the  Hebrew Bible for yourself.

This course is designed for people who have had no previous exposure to Hebrew, or who would like to revisit the basics. The aims of this course are:

• To cover the basics of the language (alphabet, grammar, vocabulary)
• To work together on a variety of Old Testament texts
• To better appreciate the literary character of the Old Testament
• To gain the skills and confidence to continue learning after the week has finished

This intermediate course is for those who have already had some exposure to Biblical Hebrew, either on their own or through studying on a beginner's course. The aims are:

• To refresh, consolidate and build on your existing knowledge of Hebrew
• To work in-depth on a variety of Old Testament texts representing the different genres of the Hebrew Bible
• To develop your exegetical skills and think through some of the interpretive issues presented by the texts

For more details, including answers to questions such as "I'm no good at languages; does that matter?"; "Will I be put on the spot?" and "What does a typical day look like?", please download the pdf leaflet and booking form below.
