Biblical Hebrew for you

By -

This class has been cancelled. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

 Biblical Hebrew, can meet different goals for different people. Laypeople will gain the ability to read the Old Testament in its original language. Pre-seminary students will acquire the competence they need to begin seminary classes. Pastors will refresh their ability to prepare for sermons and Bible classes.

Starting Tuesday, September 3, Concordia Lutheran Seminary in Edmonton is offering a 9-month evening course in Biblical Hebrew (BL-090/091) by distance education – you can access it on the internet from anywhere. The course is tentatively scheduled to meet Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 7:00-8:30 pm (Mountain Time). The instructor is Dr. Stephen Chambers, the seminary’s Academic Dean and resident professor of New Testament.

In addition to the twice-a-week “live” online classes, led by Dr. Chambers, the course relies heavily on students’ independent work using the course’s textbook, workbook, and online materials. The course follows Basics of Biblical Hebrew (2nd edition) by Gary Pratico and Miles Van Pelt. A detailed course schedule and syllabus is available upon request.

The course is reasonably priced at $250 per semester. (Church-workers in Lutheran Church-Canada pay even less.)

Interested? Contact the registrar, Anna Yang: ayang@concordiasem.ab.ca or 780-474-1468 ext. 227.

    Sounds very interesting. Don't know if I still have the mental chops to attempt to learn a foreign language but I would sure like to give it a try.

We thank God for His marvelous blessing upon these men and their families, and upon His Church here in Canada, as Lutheran servants and congregations are connected through this assignment. Graduating students will also receive their degrees and theological diplomas. Honoree Fran Wershler will receive the Faith in Life recognition. Nearly two-thirds ($650,000) of the funding needed to train these pastors and vicar/interns comes from congregations and individuals across the Church.

First Annual Research Forum

By Anonymous -
On September 11 CLS promoted its first Annual Research Forum. Faculty and a guest presenter discussed the Theological research they completed in the past year. A graduate school's vocation - as it is for any university - is carried out on a triangular basis, with each point supporting and sustaining the others: · Teaching (in the sense of formal education) · Research · Extension As an academic place, our school is also a place, then, where knowledge is revisited, built and shared in formal and informal education. Our seminary supports each professor's research by allocating time and means for formal research. Each year, research projects are received and approved; completed projects are shared with the larger community; and final results of each project are evaluated for publication in various ways: either as research articles in specialized journals, or as a doctoral thesis, or as a book. The inaugural forum’s guest presenter was Rev. Mark Sander, pastor in Mannsville,
