Margaret Barker’s Master Classes on the Hebrew Scriptures
The Interpreter Foundation is pleased to offer two seminars from noted scholar Dr. Margaret Barker.
The Nov. 9 seminar looked at the changes and developments in the text of the Hebrew Scriptures and the work of the scribes who transmitted them.
This provided the context for the second seminar on Nov. 16 where Dr. Barker examined five examples from Qumran texts of Deuteronomy and Isaiah to explore how and why differences arose, and which of the versions was the more likely to have been used by the first Christians.
This class is for everyone interested in the story of the Hebrew Scriptures. Knowledge of Hebrew is not required.
Video and audio recording of both seminars are available at https://interpreterfoundation.org/conferences/margaret-barker-master-classes-on-the-hebrew-scriptures/.
