Ever wondered about biblical language acquisition? Join us, as we take you on a journey with Dr. Jesse Scheumann, a biblical Hebrew expert. From his beginnings in rural Minnesota to his scholarly work in generative linguistics, language acquisition, Greek and Hebrew exegesis, and biblical theology, Dr. Scheumann’s story is inspirational.

Dr. Scheumann employs a communicative methodology that incorporates Total Physical Response (TPR) and storytelling. It's a unique approach that has sparked lively classroom experiences, even engaging his own family. Dr. Scheumann guides us through the intricacies and nuances of learning Biblical languages. He shares insights on the resources and methods crucial for this endeavor. 

Dr. Scheumann opens up about his publishing journey, from contributing to a biblical theology of birth pain to co-authoring a Picture Dictionary and an illustrated Jonah book. As we further our conversation, we also explore the contrasting experiences of Christian life in urban and rural settings. Adding to this, we touch upon raising a family in an urban environment and the significance of reading the Bible in its original languages. 

If you're intrigued, come join us at the upcoming Sattler College Open House on October 13th and 14th in Boston. It's your chance to connect with Dr. Schuemann.
