The Interpreter Foundation is pleased to offer two seminars from noted scholar Dr. Margaret Barker. Her presentations will be on two successive Saturdays, November 9 and November 16, both beginning at 11 AM Mountain Time. Each seminar will feature an illustrated lecture for approximately 50 minutes followed by 15 to 30 minutes for questions. The seminars are free but registration is required (see link below).

The Nov. 9 seminar will look at the changes and developments in the text of the Hebrew Scriptures and the work of the scribes who transmitted them.

This will provide the context for the second seminar on Nov. 16. Dr. Barker will examine 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.

Registration

To attend the seminars by Margaret Barker, please register in advance. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
