“Men and Women”: this is the theme that has been chosen for the Interdisciplinary Days which will take place on March 4-5, 2010 at the University of Strasbourg’s Faculty of Protestant Theology.

Spring semester has begun at the University of Strasbourg! Beginning tomorrow (January 26, 2010), I’m teaching an Advanced Hebrew class designed for students already familiar with Biblical Hebrew morphology.

The Third International Conference on Christian Apocryphal Literature will take place on January 14-16, 2010, at the University of Strasbourg. Its theme is: “Christian Apocryphal Literature and Jewish Scriptures“.

The program is very rich, with dozens of papers and conferences. It is available below in PDF format:

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!
