Biblical Hebrew Week 2010
Sunday 20 to Saturday 26 June 2010

Two courses to choose from:
Biblical Hebrew for Beginners
or
Moving on with Biblical Hebrew

In partnership with Wycliffe Bible Translators

Our popular intensive Biblical Hebrew week returns for its fourth successive year. Choose from either the introductory course for beginners or the intermediate programme for those wanting to develop their grasp of the language.

Beginner's course: Biblical Hebrew for Beginners

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

Intermediate course: Moving on with Biblical Hebrew

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

During the week the two groups will join together for a special seminar led by Prof. Gordon McConville, Professor of Old Testament Theology at the University of Gloucestershire.

We are delighted to be collaborating with Wycliffe Bible Translators in offering this Hebrew Week. Details of their own three-week intermediate course can be found at Wycliffe's training website
