כי לא מחשבותי מחשבותיכם

כִּי לֹא מַחְשְׁבוֹתַי מַחְשְׁבוֹתֵיכֶם, וְלֹא דַרְכֵיכֶם דְּרָכָי

Little Goodie to Start Off the Week

One of the sweetest discoveries I have made lately is the availability of a Open Yale Course on the Introduction to the Old Testament / Hebrew Bible. This means that you can actually inform yourself on the scientific aspects of the ‘Hebrew Bible’ for free on a university level. Something that I love. I am already through the sixth lecture.

Class sessions can be found here. Click the picture below for the first class:

 

I’d be interested to know what you think.

  1. Thanks for the link! Don't have time to watch them but was happy to see they also have full transcripts to read.

  2. Since you asked, I find the mixture of cleavage and theology udderly inspirational.

  3. I watched those lectures a couple years ago. That was really the first time I studied the bible from a perspective other than OJ. Eye-opening. You don't realize how much thousands of years of interpretation of scripture have imposed on this text that really reflects a completely different world from what we know or choose to remember.
