1 OT 511 Interpreting the Old Testament Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary Spring 2018 Instructor: Thomas Petter Feb. 9-10; March 9-10 ; April 6-7 Course Description: An introduction to the principles of Old Testament Hebrew Exegesis and to the study of the Old Testament. Various exercises will be assigned that prepare students for 600- level exegesis courses (e.g., text criticism, translation, grammar, structure, lexical analysis). In addition, students are exposed to the major questions pertaining to Old Testament studies (Inspiration, authority, historical questions, critical methodologies). Prerequisites: OL 501, OL 502 (may be enrolled in OL 502 concurrently with OT 511), OT 500, NT 501. Note: Hebrew requirements must be met in order to pass the course Learning outcomes: Familiarity with the process of Hebrew exegesis in preparation for 600-level exegesis courses. Development of critical skills to assess the major schools of interpretation in Old Testament studies (literary, historical and recent trends, e.g. reader-response and liberation readings) Strengthened commitment to the Scriptures as the inspired and inerrant Word of God (cf. Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary s Mission Statement) Note: No personal internet usage, texting, etc. during class times. At the end of the course, students will need to produce a signed written statement they did not go online for personal purposes during class times. Regular attendance, punctuality and active participation are required in this class. Penalties can be up to 10% of final grade (see below) 1

2 Required Readings: E. Brotzman, Old Testament Text Criticism (Baker) D. A. Carson, Exegetical Fallacies (Baker, 1996) A. Hoerth, Archaeology and the Old Testament (Baker) R and K Soulen, Handbook of Biblical Criticism, fourth edition (Westminster/John Knox, 2011) The Pentateuch in translation (analytical reading) Course Evaluation: Final Exam: All course readings and lectures (40%) Note: I will provide a review sheet for the final exam Exercises (60%) 1. Literary context: Overview chart of Genesis 2. Text Criticism (Gen. 15:2) 3. Lexical Analysis (Genesis 15:6) 4. Grammar and Syntax (Genesis 37) 5. Structure (Numbers 21) Ways to lose class participation and readings credit (10%): 1. Internet (texting, etc.) for personal use in class (except for emergencies). Tip if you are tempted: It can wait until the next break ). Each student will turn in a signed statement as appendix to the exegesis paper stating: I did not consult the internet for personal usage during the class. Signed: John Doe 2. Systematic inability to translate and parse Hebrew texts and actively contribute to the discussions. 3. Regular tardiness or cutting class short 4. Unexcused absences and absences beyond one class session of 3 hours 5. Reading less than 80% of the readings. Thus, if a student reads 78% of the total reading, he/she receives no credit. If a student reads 80%, he/she receives 8%, and so on. A reading report must be submitted as appendix to the paper: I have read 100% of the readings. Signed: Jane Doe 6. Failure to submit an internet accountability statement 7. Failure to submit a reading report 2
