Hello!
Please share with any interested students! This course has zero free electives and can
appeal to students from a wide variety of majors. This course allows student to delve into
the academic study of the bible from a literary perspective.
Course Description:
The Bible is considered by many Jews and Christians to be a sacred text. People read it
devotionally, from a historical perspective, and even theologically, but it may also be
read as a literary text, or rather as a collection of literary texts. This course will
focus on a variety of literary approaches to the text of the Bible, informed by an
understanding of the historical development, selection, and transmission of the text. The
instructor does not assume any previous knowledge of the Bible or any particular faith
commitment on the part of the student. The course will be taught from an academic,
nonsectarian perspective.
