Lunch & Learn: What to Do With Body Parts in Biblical Hebrew, Rebecca Wright, Ph.D.

Join us at noon on Monday, November 11th, 2024 for a lecture by Rebecca Wright, Ph.D. entitled "What to Do With Body Parts in Biblical Hebrew." 

Like most languages, Biblical Hebrew uses body parts metaphorically. However, a passage can be seriously misunderstood if we put our English definition onto the Hebrew idiom. A billboard example of this is in the “first great commandment” Jesus teaches. Hebrew simply does not use the word “heart” the same way English does. So what did Jesus mean? What are the greatest and second-greatest commandments? Attend this Lunch & Learn with Dr. Wright to find out!
