COURSE PREVIEW

COURSE DESCRIPTION

To read the New Testament as a Jewish text one must be familiar with the techniques of Jewish literary traditions. This mini-course challenges students to consider the New Testament as a text communicating genuinely Jewish thoughts and ideas using Jewish linguistic expressions.

Understanding is really being brought to light through your teachings. This is my first course and I’m elated at the growth I know will take place from understanding the culture and meaning of the original text.

This is our first lesson and we are blessed to be part of this course! Thank you!

david

David Pease

I really appreciate the insights presented in these lessons and it helps me to see concepts I had never had explained to me before in the Jewish context.

edward

Edward

This had a wonderfully strong focus on the text and the context (linguistically and historically) how it may have come to be written. The focus on meaning-then vs. meaning-now is both helpful and thought-provoking in gaining a deeper understanding of what the text may really be about.
