School of Ancient Middle Eastern Languages and Civilisations (ELCOA)
ELCOA's unique, interdisciplinary approach to ancient Middle Eastern languages and civilisations enables students to understand the cultures in which the Old and New Testaments were written.
The teaching is divided into three different areas:
- Biblical cultures including ecclesiastical Latin, Hebrew, Aramaic, Biblical Greek, and Rabbinic Hebrew
- The Christian East which is devoted to Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Georgian, Ethiopian, Syriac, and Patristic Greek
- The Ancient Near East which specialises in Akkadian, Egyptian, ancient Anatolian languages and Ugaritic
ELCOA's interdisciplinary approach emphasises the importance of the interface between different cultural and linguistic regions. An education in the Christian East and Biblical Cultures opens out into the fields of biblical exegesis and systematic theology, making for a fruitful dialogue between these disciplines.
