BIB 215 - Intermediate Biblical Hebrew

Credits: 3
An intermediate biblical Hebrew language course using Communicative Language Teaching methodologies to provide the foundation for fluent reading needed for exegesis and translation. Building on Hebrew I & II (pre-requisites), this readings course will increase fluency by re-enforcing and further internalizing the grammar already covered, while simultaneously increasing core vocabulary. By reading a variety of narrative and poetical texts from the Hebrew Bible, matters related to discourse analysis and exegesis will be introduced and discussed. The student will also be introduced to the use of reference works necessary for the advanced study of biblical Hebrew.
