About the Biblical Hebrew courses
For those unfamiliar with Biblical Hebrew, our beginners’ language course offers an exciting and foundational introduction to the language, alongside a comprehensive exploration of the basic tools of translation.
When you’ve completed the beginners’ course or demonstrated a level of existing familiarity, you can start our intermediate classes. You’ll gain further fluency through reading selected passages of the Biblical text and develop your skills in translation and exegesis.
The courses are suitable for both existing St Augustine’s students and new learners who wish to engage in this field of study for their own enrichment. You’ll be learning alongside a diverse group of students and attending classes at our Southwalk campus, in central London.
“During your studies, you will engage with up-to-date scholarship on the relevant texts. You’ll explore a range of subjects, including matters of history and literary analysis, background, and theology.”
