Learn Hebrew online

NOTE: This class has been cancelled.

ONLINE – Starting Tuesday, September 3, 2019 Concordia Lutheran Seminary (CLS) in Edmonton is offering a nine-month evening course in Biblical Hebrew (BL-090/091) by distance education. Potential students can access it on the internet from anywhere.

Biblical Hebrew can meet different goals for different people. Laypeople will gain the ability to read the Old Testament in its original language. Pre-seminary students will acquire the competence they need to begin seminary classes. Pastors will refresh their ability to prepare for sermons and Bible classes.

The course is tentatively scheduled to meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7:00-8:30 p.m. (Mountain Time). The instructor is Rev. Dr. Stephen Chambers, the seminary’s Academic Dean and resident professor of New Testament.

In addition to the twice-a-week live online classes led by Dr. Chambers, the course relies heavily on students’ independent work using the course’s textbook, workbook, and online materials. The course follows Basics of Biblical Hebrew (2^nd edition) by Gary Pratico and Miles Van Pelt. A detailed course schedule and syllabus is available upon request.

The course is reasonably priced at $250 per semester. Church-workers in Lutheran Church–Canada pay even less.

For more information, contact the registrar, Anna Yang at ayang@concordiasem.ab.ca or 1-780-474-1468 ext. 227.
