To the poor and hungry, he was a provider. To the sick, a healer. To soldiers, a protector. But Elisha lived a life of constant peril, navigating the treacherous politics of the Northern Kingdom. Join us for nine sessions as we examine the narratives of 2 Kings 4–6. We will focus on the most challenging verses of the text, exploring multiple layers of meaning and translation. Come prepared to share your own insights as we reconstruct the world of one of the Tanakh’s most enigmatic figures. 

Prerequisite: Completion of Biblical Hebrew I, II, and III. If you have not taken these courses but believe you have the equivalent background, please schedule a conversation with the instructor prior to enrollment.
