In this course, students will gain exposure to extra-biblical texts from the Second Temple Period. Selections from Jewish texts in Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew (Pseudepigrapha, Apocrypha, Dead Sea Scrolls, etc...) will be read in English translation along with secondary scholarly works seeking to provide historical and cultural context.
This class dives into various extant works from the 2nd temple period giving the student a good grasp of the literary climate leading up to, and during the time of Yeshua. This class is reading heavy but is great for adults who are able to spend the time this course requires. This course would also be suitable for teens that love to read.
One-on-one instruction and guidance from instructor, Rob Vanhoff.
