INTRODUCTION TO HEBREW SCRIPTURES
The aim of the course is to read and understand significant sections of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), in translation in historical, social, religious, cultural, and literary contexts. This course will be a scholarly (i.e., non-parochial) approach to the most important book of western civilization, which will take into account the latest biblical and archaeological research. Certain biblical books, selected for their topic, genre, or style, will be read, analyzed, and discussed. Topics to be covered include: the nature of biblical prophecy, ethics in the Bible, wisdom literature, and the concept of God in the Bible.
