Hello b-Hebrew. My name is Eric Hirsch. My main interests are the methodology and methods of a brand of "Literary Criticism" adapted to the Hebrew Bible where textual meanings are determined by authorial intention. Within the larger context of the "historical-critical method," I am interested in Hebrew Bible textual criticism, linguistic analysis, composition (source) criticism, rhetorical criticism, redaction criticism and tradition history. I also have an interest in ancient Israelite religion and in historical Jesus research. I hold a doctorate from Vanderbilt University in Hebrew Language and Literature.
I look forward to learning from the list membership. Best Regards, EH
