Institution:

Bentley University

Subject:

Description:

Selections from both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament will be discussed in considerable detail: Genesis, Exodus, Samuel, Kings, Ecclesiastes, Job, Matthew, Acts, and perhaps some selections from the prophets, Psalms, and other books as well. These books include stories about human origins, families, love, war, sex, betrayal, politics, prophets and kings, and the development of a stormy relationship between God and humankind. The books of the Bible also contain laws, histories, philosophy, and prophecies, all of which can help us understand the ancient cultures that so influenced the world.
