There is still time to register for TCI’s Summer Institute!
TCI’s
Summer Institute provides a unique forum in which teachers can delve into
classic Biblical texts and learn sophisticated, unique, and relevant text-study
methodologies rooted in the Jewish tradition of Biblical interpretation.
Why is this important?
Because Biblical allusions and archetypes are found throughout works we teach in the classroom. John Steinbeck, William Shakespeare, Marc Chagall, and Toni Morrison all pepper their work with Biblical references, subtle and overt, yet students struggle to understand and find relevance in these ancient texts.
