Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Yigal Levin <Yigal.Levin AT biu.ac.il>]

Dear Eric,

 

Welcome to the list. I hope that you have many fruitful exchanges with other members on those subjects that are of interest to you. However, please remember three things. The first is that the primary focus of this list is the biblical Hebrew language. We understand that any language must be studied in context, and allow limited amount of discussion of historical, literary and theological matters, but only in as much as they pertain to the text of the Hebrew Bible. The second is that the subject line of your posts should match their content. The third thing to remember is to please sign all posts with your full name, and if possible also some sort of affiliation.

 

Thank you,

 

Yigal Levin,

Co-Moderator, B-Hebrew

Hello b-Hebrew.

 

My name is Eric Hirsch. My main interests are the methodology and methods of a brand of "Literary Criticism" adapted to the Hebrew Bible where textual meanings are determined by authorial intention. Within the larger context of the "historical-critical method," I am interested in Hebrew Bible textual criticism, linguistic analysis, composition (source) criticism, rhetorical criticism, redaction criticism and tradition history. I also have an interest in ancient Israelite religion and in historical Jesus research. I hold a doctorate from Vanderbilt University in Hebrew Language and Literature.

 

I look forward to learning from the list membership.

 

Best Regards,

 

EH
