[OT] Fwd: Discovering the Old Testament podcast


Discovering the Old Testament

By Sheldon Greaves

Podcast:
http://www.lafkospress.com/discovering-the-old-testament-2/

A series of brief lectures about the history, culture, archaeology, and languages behind the Old Testament (Hebrew Scriptures) based on a series of seminars and a summer course taught at Stanford University in 2013. We examine the Old Testament in the context of its mysterious and exotic world and times. An ongoing educational tool for personal study, adult education groups, sermon preparation, or personal enrichment.

Sheldon Greaves received his Ph.D. in ancient Near Eastern Studies from the University of California at Berkeley in 1996, with his main area of emphasis on the Hebrew Bible. His other areas of emphasis were Canaanite Religion and Religion and Magic in Ancient Mesopotamia. He has published articles on wordplay in Ugaritic magical texts and Babylonian omens, as well as the book of Genesis.
