Book event, Kenneth Hanson, Hebraic Luke: Jewish Scholarship Enlightens the Narrative of Jesus (Global Center for Religious Research/GCRR Press, 2022). This session deals with the suggestion that beneath the Greek texts of the Gospels, Luke in particular, lay a long-vanished Semitic grundschrift, which may be imperfectly glimpsed through the occasionally awkward syntax of the traditional Gospel narratives. Issues related to the Jewish “reclamation” of Jesus are featured. III.Film event, "The Samaritans: A Biblical People."A documentary by Moshe Alafi.Viewing and discussion. IV.NAPH and SBL Theology of the Hebrew Scriptures section will co-sponsor a panel discussion of J. Richard Middleton, Abraham's Silence: The Binding of Isaac, The Suffering of Job, and How to Talk Back to God (Baker Academic, 2021). The session focuses on the biblical theme of confronting God throughout the Hebrew Scriptures as a hermeneutical lens for an innovative peshat reading of the Aqedah. Presenters will be invited.V. Theme: New Hebrew Grammars. The 2022 Biblical Hebrew pedagogy session will focus on the Hebrew grammars that have either been published in the last decade or appeared with significant revisions. Two kinds of proposals are sought. One would be a summary of recent publications with descriptions of their salient features and intended audiences. The other would be devoted to a particular grammar or curriculum. Contact: Robert Stallman (bob.stallman@northwestu.edu).VI. Joint session with the Linguistics and Biblical Hebrew Seminar of SBL entitled Linguistics and Biblical Hebrew. Papers that address the study of Biblical Hebrew using a well articulated linguistic method and those that apply linguistics to particular constructions or corpuses.Contact Tania Notarius (tnotarius@gmail.com).
