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 26, 2012 at 8 AM!

After vacation time, a good Hebrew session will help you get back on track! Come to Strasbourg on Friday, November 4, 2011, from 10:00 to 18:00.

We’ll go over the basics of Hebrew grammar and read a few biblical passages. The session will resume on Saturday from 8:00 to 12:00, with my colleague Madeleine Wieger. See you on Friday!

“Generations in Unison“: this is the theme of the 2011 Protes’temps forts in Strasbourg. But what does the Bible say about it? Isn’t the Bible the theater—even the source—of a true clash of generations?

Come on Nov. 2 at 6:30 PM to the University Palace, room 44, for a conference entitled:

“Bible and Generations: Clash or Unison?”

More information on the Protes’temps forts website.

The Hebrew word ḥesed (חֶ֫סֶד) has a profound meaning which modern versions of the Bible can’t grasp. Various translations are used, such as mercy, faithfulness, kindness, favor, loyalty, love, grace, etc.
But what does it really mean? And what are its theological implications?

Come Thursday, September 15 at 11 AM for this new Master 2 course in Strasbourg!
