Dear friend,
As you have participated in at least one of our Centre for Encountering the Bible day courses or on our TQQ/Exploring Theology course, we’d like to let you about some upcoming courses on related subjects.
In feedback received from previous courses, there has been repeated requests for a course on The Book of Revelation and apocalyptic literature, resources on dealing with violence and conflict in the Bible, and deeper reading of particular texts. As a result, we have planned several courses to fit that bill! Have a browse below and do please join us - places are limited, so book now to avoid disappointment!
Best wishes,
Sarum College

Introduction to Biblical Hebrew
30 August - 4 September 2020
Reading the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible in the language in which it was written is to open a window into a different world and times. This course introduces the student to Biblical Hebrew and lays the groundwork for further study. It is both fun and intensive, and will bring the student through the early stages of learning a language which is both radically different and beautifully rich in it's theology and world view.
