You can take any class you want, do all the work, and you don't have to pay us a dime!
Of course, if you don't pay, then you won't get a grade, you won't get any credit, and you won't get any technical help: that is, we won't answer any questions you might have, and you won't get any tests to check the progress of your education.

So, like shareware, if you like it, if it's useful, then why not pay for it? It's the right thing to do.

The study of this biblical language increases the students' capacity to minister the Word of God from the Old Testament. Knowledge of Hebrew enriches the teaching and preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Audio cas_settes accompany the course. The study guide is Hebrew I by Dr. William Williams. The textbooks are Introduction to Hebrew by Moshe Greenburg and the Holy Bible.

Unsurprisingly, at least one of the answers is UNISA. The departmental web page is at http://www.unisa.ac.za/Default.asp?Cmd=ViewContent&ContentID=1782

The really good news (from your point of view) is buried on the news page: they're developing a classical hebrew CD-ROM for students.

Closer to home (well, my home), the London School of Theology will be offering Biblical Hebrew as a DL course from this summer. http://www.lst.ac.uk/open/OL-PDFs/lst_ol_3ms.pdf

Here is a site you might be interested in.

 

John,

I've thought about you and your quest lately. Funny you should post here and remind me.

So what have you finally decided regarding a way to obtain a D/L MDiv (or equivalent) in a Lutheran tradition?

 

I don't know if this will help you, they specify that it's modern Hebrew, but if you want to do a little independent study:

thanks, a great deal of help. I will follow up the leads.

Gregg , no luck whatsoever. I had settled on faith seminary but without going into it found them to have serious problems with very simple communication.Completely non potential student friendly.

They're probably way too conservative for your ELCA-influenced sensibilities anyway. So what are you gonna' do? I sensed the beginnings of a real calling in your earlier words. You're not gonna' just let that pass, are you? Your counseling background... I mean... c'mon... you'd be a natural... at least in pastoral counseling settings. I'll bet Lutheran Social Services (or groups like it) would just about kill to get you... maybe even right now, even before the theological/pastoral education.

Now you're sniffing around for biblical languages training. You must have something up your sleeve. Tell! Tell! (That is, if you're willing and it's not too personal and all that kinda' stuff. If it is, then don't hestitate to tell me to just shut the hell up. I'm a big boy. I can take it!) [grin]

 

hi gregg, you have a great sense of humor as well as being intuitive.I applied, was accepted and went to Seattle to take my first course in OT at northwest grad schools DMin. No its neither an Mdiv, sacramental or a traditional pastors route, but at 45 with four kids , huge morgatge ect I have surrendered to the fact that I am hardly traditional nor will my ministry be. My sense of future is a small denomination sacramental/liturgical church (legit and respected one of course) and I will when acceptably compotent church and ministry plant.
many thanks for all your past recommendations.

 

God speed.
