ABOUT THE LECTURER
After completing his MCS and MDiv at BGST, Andrew did his PhD at the University of Gloucestershire on “The Narrative Function of the Song of Moses in Deuteronomy and Genesis-Kings,” which examines the theological and hermeneutical role of the Song of Moses within its contexts in their final form. His research interests include the Pentateuch, Deuteronomy, Narrative Poetry, Old Testament Theology and Interpretation. He was formerly a staff-worker of Singapore Youth For Christ, through which he helped supervise the work of youth evangelism amongst secondary school students.
COURSE AIMS
BH 111 and 112 together cover the elements of Biblical Hebrew. At the end of these two courses students should be able to tackle most OT narrative texts and some of the simpler poetic texts with the help of reference tools.
We use as a textbook C.L. Seow, A Grammar for Biblical Hebrew (2nd rev. ed.; Nashville: Abingdon, 1995).
BH 111 has taken students to the end Seow, ch. 13.
BH 112 will take students to the end of Seow, ch. 30.
Students are advised that, in addition, to attending the lectures, they must be able to devote 4–5 hours per week to the study of Hebrew (Conversations with past students indicate that 6–7 hours might be a more accurate figure). Biblical Hebrew is well within the grasp of most students, but regular study at all stages of learning the language is absolutely essential.
COURSE REGISTRATION & ASSIGNMENT POLICIES
Please note that with effect for courses commencing from Jan 2012 (AY2011 Term 3) onwards:
- A student will only be registered for the course after he has submitted both his course registration form and course fees.
- The 1- and 3- month deadline for Full Time and Part Time Students respectively will still apply. After the first deadline, students will be granted a further 3 months deadline extension automatically. The specific overdue assignment, however, will incur a penalty of a 1/3 grade deduction. For example, an overdue essay submitted by the end of the 6th month, will be downgraded from B+ to B. At the end of this deadline extension, no further extensions will be allowed. The status of the incomplete course will be converted from Credit to Audit. This conversion will not affect the student’s GPA.
