BIB 115: Hebrew I
BIB 116: Hebrew II

Learning the original language has long been the preferred way for Bible scholars to study and understand the Scriptures, but learning Hebrew has often been regarded as a dreaded undertaking with a goal of simply learning for literacy.

Not so for Biblical and Religious Studies Professor Brian Schultz who teaches his Hebrew courses using living language methods. Creative and exciting classes help his students learn at a faster pace and with improved understanding. Already, his methods have resulted in an increased interest in learning Hebrew among both undergraduate and seminary students.

Course highlights:

  • 90% of instruction is in Biblical Hebrew, right from day one! And in fact, this makes it both easier and more fun.
  • Pressure is on the teacher to perform, not the students.
  • Classroom interactions are creative and exciting and involve:
    • Role playing with props and costumes
    • Outside activities
    • Songs & dances
