Ted Wright from Epic Archaeology will be returning Thursday, March 12, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET to teach a six-week online course titled, “Judges & 1-2 Samuel: A Historical & Archaeological Survey.”

This course will survey the historical and archaeologial backgrounds of the formative years of ancient Israel–the Judges Period, and early monarchy under David & Solomon. We will focus specifically on the historical events of the late Bronze Age (LBA) with special attention given to the Amorites, the influx of the “Sea Peoples,” as well as the material culture of the Philistines & Canaanites, and their interaction with the Israelites as recorded in the book of Judges and 1-2 Samuel. The course will also survey the historical and archaeological evidence of the early Israelite monarchy under David and Solomon and the nature and extent of their kingdom, as it can be understood through historical and archaeological sources.

The cost of this course is $105.00

Biblical Hebrew 1 starts Monday, February 9th, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET

Biblical Hebrew 2 starts Tuesday, February 10th, 2026 at 7:00 pm ET

Vocabulary Building. Students master sentence structure. The goal in Hebrew II is a vocabulary enrichment. Students are exposed to twenty new words each class and practice reading scripture. The book of choice is Ruth. History and literature combine to bring Hebrew students a deep understanding of the Tanakh’s almost poetic form.

Biblical Hebrew Prayer, starts Wednesday, February 11th at 7:00 pm ET.

This course is an introduction to Hebrew grammar and Hebrew prayer. It focuses on simple, regular forms of Hebrew verbs, nouns, adjective, and prepositions. By emphasizing basic sentence structures, it helps students gain confidence in using essential Hebrew expressions with ease. Music, history, and tradition enrich the learning experience, bringing ancient language and Hebrew prayers to life. These engaging elements make the grammar memorable, ensuring students retain key formation effectively. Students will be able to read and recite important ancient Jewish/Hebrew prayers before the end of the course.

Biblical Hebrew 3 No Class This Term

Students focus on mastering biblical verb structure. The Book of Ruth is finished. A new text is introduced by world renowned writers Miles V. Van Pelt and Gary D.
