BBL 101ZM Biblical Hebrew
Hebrew is the original language of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, and its recovery was a central and indispensable building block of the Protestant Reformation. Students learn the basics of biblical Hebrew vocabulary and grammar and begin to sharpen their perspective on the exquisite art of translation. The course is enhanced by an orientation to Bible software tools as an aid to ongoing study of the language. Free elective; may fulfill MDiv Language requirement with advisor’s permission. [No prerequisites].
(formerly BIB 100 ZM Greek: The Language of the Early Church and the Church Today) The New Testament was written in Koine Greek. As the language in which God's Living Word is communicated to us, it is imperative that we can read and understand that word as clearly as possible. The variety of English translations of the New Testament demonstrates that every translation is also an interpretation. For leaders in the Church, this course will provide the knowledge, skills, and training in software resources to work with the original language texts; awareness of the interpretive issues involved in translation; and practice in effectively communicating the Word for the church today. Fulfills MDiv and MA Biblical Language requirement. [No prerequisites]. Accordance Bible software (available with a seminary discount) is required.
