RELS 112 - Biblical Hebrew

Institution:

Randolph-Macon College

Subject:

Description:

This course is the sequel to RELS 111 and is designed to focus upon the principles of syntax and to further reading skills. Students will apply the rules and principles of Biblical Hebrew and thereby employ grammatical insights in reading and analyzing selected passages from the Hebrew Bible. This analysis will entail oral reading (some of which students will be required to tape) and diagramming of sentences from the Hebrew Bible. The premise of the course is that grammatical and literary analyses of the Hebrew texts are facilitated and complemented by writing Hebrew and that learning the language requires vocalization. The primary objective of the course is textual, grammatical, and literary criticism of the Hebrew Bible. Area One: Biblical Studies. This course counts toward the RELS major and minor. Also, it fulfills one AOK requirement in Religious Studies/Philosophy. Prerequisite: RELS 111. Three hours. Mr. Ross.
