Hooray for James Robson and Paul Woodbridge and Thomas Renz and David Peterson!

Today's exams were terrifyingly intense. 9-11am Greek and 11-1pm Hebrew. Paradigms, syntactical rules, parsing and translation. I was pleased to spot a couple of passages from 1 Peter we did in the third year and recognise the final passage as being from Hebrews even though I couldn't translate it! The Hebrew was a nice passage from 1 Kings and a horrid passage from Jeremiah 12. I left blank the question about rules for Pe-Yod verbs but hey, who needs to know the rules?

And the good news is I passed both without needing to do any remedial work or take any extra classes! The Hebrew tutor said he was looking to make sure my Hebrew was at Masters level or above and that it clearly was. The Greek tutor was looking very harassed after a long day of interruptions and computer failures so he just told me I passed, which was all I wanted to hear.

Congratulations, Ros, on passing your Hebrew and Greek exams.

I'm looking forward to hearing what courses you decided to take this semester.

Theology of language and interpretation, Hermeneutics in the NT and Ugaritic. And I need to make a start on the OT reading course. I'm looking forward to it.

Dear Ros ... Yes congratulations indeed !

You write Theology of language and interpretation

I remember reading a book on the subject written by a Spaniard who used to (and maybe still does) teach at WTS. Name escapes me just now. I think it starts with an "S". He also seems to have done a lot of work on the LXX.

All the best .... Celal

I'm not sure who that would be. The course is taught by Vern Poythress.

Just had a brainwave. I did a google search on the words "church" "misread" and "Bible" which took me to Amazon to a book of his i had read once : MOISES SILVA. That's who.
