Dr. Ronald Troxel is Distinguished Lecturer (Biblical Languages and Literature) at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. This is one of the top, if not the top, Hebrew and Semitic Studies programs in the US.  He has posted the syllabi for a number of his courses on his faculty page.  In addition, he has links on these syllabi to a number of his written out lectures.  There is a gold mine of material available here, so take some time and check it out.  Of particular interest, he has some of his lectures up from a course titled “History Telling in the Hebrew Bible.”  This material looks like it is going to be very interesting to read.
