This is a very special episode for me, personally! On today's episode, we have my favorite intellect in the world of the Hebrew Bible: Dr. Jesse Scheumann! Jesse was my first year Hebrew Professor back at Bethlehem College and Seminary in Minneapolis. This guy would have breakfast with us each class, taught in a way that was engaging and fun, and instilled in me a love for the Hebrew Bible. I'm forever indebted to this man and I hope you'll enjoy listening to our conversation today.

Jesse Scheumann holds a PhD with a specialization in Hebrew from the University of the Free State in South Africa. He holds an MA in Linguistics from the University of Minnesota, an MDiv and ThM from Bethlehem College and Seminary, and a BA in Biblical and Theological Studies from University of Northwestern – St. Paul. In 2017, he founded Picture Hebrew with his wife, Merissa, to provide illustrated resources that help others internalize the language of Scripture.

Dr. Scheumann’s interests lie in the areas of generative linguistics, language acquisition, Greek and Hebrew exegesis, and biblical theology. He has been teaching communicative Hebrew for several years and is passionate to see any committed student become a lifelong reader of Greek and Hebrew. His desire is to build up the church, locally and globally.
