Since God ordained it that he would communicate through human language, we must take this seriously.

In particular, Biblical Hebrew is the language God chose to originally convey his message in 99% of the Old Testament, which consists of approximately 70% of the Bible. By learning the basics of Biblical Hebrew grammar, you gain greater access into the culture of ancient Israel and establish a base for utilizing Biblical Hebrew in the study of the Old Testament.

Dr Sun Jiani

Lecturer

Jiani finished her DPhil in Theology/Hebrew Bible at the University of Oxford. Her dissertation is on the Wisdom of Solomon in which she argues that scriptural interpretation enables the reading community to re-experience God’s saving acts in history. Originally from Shanghai, China, she has spent six years in the US before she comes to Oxford. She received her BA in Biblical Studies and Philosophy from Wheaton (IL) in 2018 and then completed an MAR at Yale Divinity School in 2020. She enjoys reading, cooking, and hosting people with her husband.
