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!

This year, I am conducting a new experiment in Strasbourg: to read and comment the entire Old Testament through the end of the academic year!

This course will enable students to acquire a global and continuous knowledge of the Hebrew Bible, without being limited to an external or fragmentary approach.

Ready for this challenge? Then I’m waiting for you on Wednesday, September 15, 2010 at 12:15!

Having discovered Biblical Hebrew, students from Strasbourg can take my Initiation to Biblical Hebrew course, which will start on Wednesday, September 15, 2010, from 10:00 to 12:00.

Don’t be late!

Did you know that our alphabet is related to Hebrew? To know more and make your first steps in Biblical Hebrew, come to Strasbourg on Friday, September 10, 2010 from 9:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 17:00. This one-day crash course will be especially useful for in absentia (distance) students who won’t be able to attend my Hebrew course every week.

שלום! (if you want to understand this word, come Friday!)
