Course Info
This is one of the most moving and fascinating courses in our Hebrew Bible collection. Amazing insights, previously lost in translation, are recovered as students journey through the story of the children of Israel, traditionally referred to as the "Joseph" story.
As our team of lecturers reads and translates key texts of the story from the original Hebrew, startling insights and implications emerge that powerfully challenges our modern Western perspective. Interacting with key Jewish and Christian scholars, this course recasts the story of Joseph in a light not previously seen by most readers.
