[edit] Bias

The text supplied comes from the Jewish Encyclopedia - which comes with its own biases!!! --MacRusgail 21:09, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Just noting that they're there and should be addressed. --Flex (talk|contribs) 22:18, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree there are problems with POV, especially in the first part. However, this can be sorted out. I agree with the JE in that Hebrew studies are generally neglected in Christian circles - which I can vouch for personally - but not as much as they once were. We picked up the odd word of Greek from religious studies, but Hebrew very rarely came into it. "Ruakh" is the only word I recall coming across. Study of Hebrew certainly does aid Judaeo-Christian understanding. --MacRusgail 10:41, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List

I think the list should be moved to List of Christian Hebraists or should be struck altogether because of the existing Category:Christian Hebraists. --Flex (talk|contribs) 22:18, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

That probably is a good idea for the near future. I have been keeping it on this webpage for now, since I am in the process of identifying some of the people on the list, most of whom appear in a Latinised dress, e.g. Drusius for Driesch etc. Some of these characters appear in the article text, so I'm in the process of linking them. --MacRusgail 10:39, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
