It’s time to get back to school! To refresh your memory, I offer you a twelve-hour intensive Hebrew session on Wednseday and Thursday, September 7-8, 2011, from 9:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 17:00. We’ll study together several texts from the Hebrew Bible.

The course of Old Testament Textual Criticism that I teach at the School of Ancient Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at the Catholic University of Paris starts today! This discipline consists in the comparison and evaluation of biblical manuscripts in Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, Latin, Syriac, and so on. In what way do they differ? Can we retrieve the original biblical text? Answer: today at 1 PM!

After the holidays, it’s time to got back to class! This semester, I’ll continue my first-year Hebrew course, while teaching an Advanced Hebrew class designed for second- and third-year students in the Bachelor’s program. We’ll look at a number of texts of various literary genres from the Hebrew Bible, focusing on syntax and structure — essential elements of a sound exegesis!

See you tomorrow, January 18, 2011 at 8 AM!

This year, I am delighted to share with Thomas Römer the Advanced Hebrew course at the School of Ancient Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at the Catholic University of Paris.

I will teach the first semester, and Thomas Römer will take over the second semester.

I am looking forward to the first session, which will take place on Friday, October 8, 2010 from 10:00 to 12:00!

The Hebrew word “shalom” (שלום) is usually translated “peace.” But what does it really mean? What is its usage in the Hebrew Bible? Is there a biblical theology of welfare?

This will be the topic of the Biblical Sciences course for second-year Master’s students in Strasbourg. ETA Thursday, September 16, 2010 at 11:00!
