Blogging has been somewhat slow recently. Mandy and I are in the midst of finishing our final semester at GCTS, and this leaves painfully little time for blogging. But, before we know it the semester will be over, and you can count on seeing more posts from us. I’ve a few more posts on the grammar of Habakkuk 3 percolating in my head, so look for those in the not too distant future.
In the mean time, I wanted to remind any New England readers that the regional SBL meeting is fast approaching. I’m especially excited about this year’s meeting because it will be the first time I’ve presented a paper at an SBL meeting. I received word a while back that my paper proposal had been accepted, and I have been busily working on finishing the paper (another reason for the lack of posts). I, like Jay, am interested in biblical Hebrew word order. The title of my paper, which follows, should make that obvious. I hope to see some of you at the regional meeting, even if Hebrew grammar isn’t exactly your cup o’ tea.
Does the Subject Come First?: Applying Robert Holmstedt’s Theory of Word Order to Judges 19-21.
Hey Calvin, this is Daniel Wang. We were in Prophets with Petter last year. I stumbled upon your blog … interesting stuff! Sorry to hear about PhD; what are you planning to do this next year? Good luck at SBL. That sounds like an interesting paper!
Calvin,
Greetings! I happened upon your blog by means of internet surfing the Hebrew Bible Blogdom. My wife and I are relocating to Boston this summer, so as to continue Hebrew Bible/Semitic studies. I would love to chat with you, to get your impressions and wisdom of things Gordon (i.e. what classes are a must, what Theological Institute class are like, profs, etc.). Would you mind sharing some of your thoughts? Thanks.
Please do visit my blog and let me know what you think.
A bit late to this post, but glad to hear you are working on Hab 3. You may have seen on my blog that I have an article on Hab 3 accepted for publication in ZAW. It is tentatively set to be in the final issue of the year. I don’t deal with the grammar so much, but it may be worthwhile for you to look at when it comes out.
