Rome, September 24-26, 2018
The RBS offers a “Seminar on Learning Biblical Rhetorical Analysis,” lasting three days: Monday, September 24 to Wednesday, September 26, 2018, at the Gregorian University (Rome).
1. Program
There will be two groups, by linguistic field: one in Italian, the other in French.
The program will consist first of all in analysis of biblical texts and of course in exchanges on methodology, with some lessons as needed. It will include:
a time of personal work,
a time of exchange among participants, in groups of two or three,
then of sharing with the professor.
A maximum of eight hours of work per day should be counted.
2. Guides
Professors Roland Meynet and Francesco Graziano will lead the work, and others as needed.
3. Conditions
The seminar is not intended for beginners, but for those who have already acquired a certain familiarity in the knowledge of the methodology and especially in the practice of text analysis.
The condition is therefore to have seriously done at least the first part of the Exercises in Rhetorical Analysis. These exercises have been published not to remain on library shelves but to? be performed by those who want to learn.
It is more than desirable to know the biblical languages – Hebrew and Greek. However, it is not absolutely essential. You will be able to work, if necessary, on literally translated texts.
