Course Info

Everyone knows skills with Hebrew Greek and Aramaic is what one needs to study the Bible in its original form. But what many Bible readers do not always realize is that the biblical scrolls and messages they convey were influenced by a broader mosaic of culture and neighboring languages. Sometimes languages borrow from other languages. In this course, IBC faculty members: Yeshaya Gruber, Carlos Santos Carretero, Pinchas Shir, Tupa Guerra explore how and why Egyprian, Accadian, Ugairitic..... fit in with Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic scrolls. 

Because these sessions were recorded live, the faculty take on many questions from the audience as they consider questions of interpretation or issues of particular texts. Their combined knowledge of the textual nuances comes to the surface as they interact with each other's views and opinions. You will not be disappointed by these insightful conversations!
