The Old Testament/Hebrew Scripture is great literature. In seminar format, participants will give a close reading of selected portions of each book.
Instructor Brian Richardson, joined by Juliet Baker, will provide commentary and discuss interpretation, deeper meanings, anachronisms and inconsistencies.
The course will review the history of translations from the Septuagint, Masoretic, Vulgate, Tyndall to the King James. Brian has translated verses of Leviticus and will discuss Hebrew and the differences in poetry and other aspects of Semitic versus Indo-European language translation and how it affects meaning.
