Join university of arkansas student, Joshua Jacobs, and u of a instructor, Dr. spencer allen, as they examine several biblical and ancient near eastern texts, in addition to archaeological data. through this class, participants will discover how the ancient israelites perceived, and re- acted to, death and dying. instruCtor: Joshua Jacobs & Dr. spencer allen DAy/DAte: tuesday, 11/29/22 (1) time: 9:30 aM - 11:30 aM FormAt: in-Person LoCAtion: DraKe Cost: $25.00 olli Member $40.00 non-olli Member BAsiC LAtin DesCriPtion: Why study a dead lan- guage? latin is not a "dead" language, merely an ancient one. it echoes through the english and romance languages that are still used around the world. it permeates architecture, art, and literature. its own linguistic artifacts -- the narratives, the poetry, history, myth, the- ology, medicine, and countless other genres of literature -- still hold vast knowledge that continue to shape our world.
