Interesting Pick From Dara

At the Do It Yourself Scholar...

The Hebrew Scriptures in Judaism and Christianity, by Harvard historian, Shaye Cohen, is recommended by Dara, and when Dara recommends a religion course I always take a peek.

The two Yale podcast "prequels" she recommends sound like interesting Summer listening as well:

Introduction to the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible by Christine Hayes

Introduction to New Testament History and Literature by Dale Martin

Dara (who does not disclose her last name at her fine blog so far as I can tell) has a variety of tastes and interests I do not share (so many topics, so little time), but she runs a very thoughtful blog.  Her Do It Yourself Scholar offers links to year’s worth of study from the undergrad level and up, all of it free for downloading. 

As I have said before, give DIYS a look.

I've got a class to finish this week and another to start next week, but I'm going to add these to my listening list.
