Christian Apocryphal Literature and Jewish Scriptures

Olivier Artus, Director of the School of Ancient Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at the Catholic University of Paris, has invited me again to teach Old Testament Textual Criticism.

This course, which I already taught last year, aims at comparing ancient witnesses of the Hebrew Bible — mainly Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, Syriac and Latin. A true journey back to the sources of the biblical text! Join us next Thursday, October 1, 2009 at 13:00 for our first session.

The Unistra seminar on the Book of the Prophet Amos begins today! This course is intended for second year Master students at the University of Strasbourg’s Faculty of Protestant Theology. The first semester will be dedicated to Amos’ prophetic visions, with a comparative study of the masoretic (Hebrew) text and the (Greek) Septuagint version, together with a synthesis of major theological themes. I am delighted to teach this seminar with Regine Hunziker-Rodewald, Professor of Old Testament.

The course of initiation to Biblical Hebrew starts today for first-year Theology students at the University of Strasbourg.

We will meet every Wednesday from 10:00 to 12:00 to discover together the first biblical language… with a very original approach… But I won’t say anything else!
