PHRE 441 - The Hebrew Scriptures: Story and Faith

The study of the theological, historical, and archeological dimensions of the texts of the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) provides a comprehensive entry into the story of ancient Israel from primal history, the Exodus and the confederacy through the period of the monarchies, the captivity and the return. The complex web of traditions and conflicts intertwined with the concomitant religious, political, and social conditions of the day is traced in the light of the interaction between faith and history, the underlying meaning of the texts, and the critique of contemporary Biblical scholarship.

Credits: 3
NOTE:
* This course counts toward the 63-credit Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) graduation requirement.
