Hello y'all. It's been a while. I made a live appearance with my Aramaic Bible Study on the Lion's Den channel with Deacon Daniel Kakish. The study was done on John 6:47-64 as a follow up to a conversation or debate he had with a Southern Baptist gentleman. You can view the Aramaic Bible Study here: youtube.com/live/9kHyctjR_XY?si=nfRnMDvzHuVwMnYZ
Hello folks. It's been a grind ever since mid-April, exacerbated by a few interruptions to the regular schedule. Hoping to get more content out soon. Much love.
Christ is risen from the tomb! Truly He is risen! qām mšīḥo men qabrā! šarīrāīt qām! ܩܡ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܢ ܩܒܪܐ / ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܩܡ Today (May 5, 2024) marks the feast for the commemoration of the Resurrection, what is called Pascha or Easter in the West according to the Julian calendar.
**ZECHARIA STICHIN FANS AND FOES**
I will be resuming my Akkadian postings this week now that I've returned from my travels. I will be doing a live session reviewing the Mesopotamian references in Zecharia Stichin's book, "The 12th Planet." Once I have the date and time available, I will post it, so set your notifications to be alerted for the broadcast.
There will be a slight delay on content for Akkadian April.
Hello everyone! I hope you're enjoying Akkadian April. Some of the upcoming videos for the rest of the month will be readings from some major texts such as Gilgamesh, more Akkadian words in the Aramaic Bible traditions, and I'm thinking of doing a live session or two addressing specific topics relevant to studying Akkadian. If you're liking these videos or have a special request, post them in the comments below!
Since I will be teaching Akkadian this Fall and Winter, I am getting fired up now. For you polyglots out there and those interested in the ancient Near East, I will be doing Akkadian April. As I did in Aramaic August, I will be posting Akkadian related content throughout the month of April (Nisan). If you have any Akkadian video requests, post below in the comments.
Hey everyone! There will be a slight delay in the release of this week's Aramaic Bible Study. Coming soon.
Happy New Year! I'm thinking of uploading some of my rants (I tried monologues but I end up ranting... it must be the tea). I'm debating whether to do the rants as single uploads or as live sessions. The only advantage to live rants is that subscribers can contribute questions or feedback in the chats. What do you think? Live and interactive or bitter cold uploads?
Good afternoon!
Tomorrow I will be releasing my Aramaic Bible Study on Matthew 1:18-25, just in time for the feast of the Nativity (Christmas) in a few days. Hoping to get one of these studies out each week. Feel free to comment and let me know if there are specific passages you'd like me to cover.
