Bar-Ilan University has put online a video of the first lecture in my class on the Philistines and Sea Peoples (in Hebrew), in which I give the general introduction to this topic and then talk about the Late Bronze Age background of the Philistines and Sea Peoples.
So, if you have just under and hour and a half of free time (and understand Hebrew) – watch and enjoy!
And if you enjoyed this (or not…), check out this clip (in English) in which my good friend and colleague, Ed Greenstein, of the BIU Bible Department, discusses “The Theory of Metaphor and Metaphor in the Bible” – very interesting!!!

Cool! Do you have plans to put the whole course online (with subtitles) like the Yale Courses guys?

Not that I’m aware of, although they do talk once in awhile about the need for online courses.

It’s a real desideratum here in Israel. I’ve recently had a blast learning about the Early Middle Ages, Ancient Greece and the Chinese civilization (Yale and Harvard) in the comfort of my own home and at my own speed. You could probably reach 5-10 times your audience with them.
