Biblical Hebrew with Scott

Schools out, so we get a chance to talk to Scott Frazier, about teaching Hebrew and reading the Word. We start by talking about teaching theories and strategies, including contracts and making sure no student is left behind. We also discuss the limitations of translation, as well as how much we are all dependent on someone else's interpretation of the Word, the translator. We can't all be Hebrew scholars, so how much information should we have to at least have some perspective and humility?

hearing an interview with some random Hebrew professor made me think some about what Chapmancast is doing in its interviews. In this interview you do work your way back to a more theological topics, but I also find it valuable to check in with various New Church people spread around the world... And I wonder what your technical limitations are. Can you do a phone interview and get sufficient sound quality to make it bearable?

There are some technical hurdles with phone interviews, although using Skype has some promise. We record with Garageband, and the technical side is a constant learning process, but it is a goal. There are a lot of great people out there in the wider world. Do you have anyone you'd like to recommend for an interview, or a topic you'd like to hear more about?

Here's a neat link a friend sent me about the meaning of Biblical Hebrew letters:
