Dr. Rebekah Josberger

Old Testament and Hebrew Professor, Multnomah University

Dr. Josberger writes "I have a passion for Old Testament studies and biblical languages, particularly Hebrew. My goal is for students to learn to read and understand the Word for themselves, whether in Hebrew or English, so that they might better know its Author."

Course Description

I can’t help but think that the book of Samuel would make for an epic movie! Political intrigue, chase scenes, bloody warfare – not to mention that it is literally the David and Goliath story. The book refuses to conform to standards we have grown comfortable with during Genesis-Ruth. Instead the characters are intimately acquainted with the messiness of life. From infertility and jealousy to love and twisted love, this book is so true to life that it can be hard to find what we are supposed to apply to our lives after reading it. This course helps walk through the book and suggests that perhaps “right and wrong” are not the driving force behind the message of the book. Instead, I & II Samuel continue the theme of relationship with God and dependence on Him, a ubiquitous theme often overlooked in the Old Testament.
