BIBLE 30109 - Biblical Narrative:Leviticus,Numbers and Deuteronomy

Institution:

Gratz College

Subject:

Description:

The narrative materials in Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy (excluding the legal portions) will be studied from several points of view: the inner structure of the stories, their relationship to other similar or different ones, and the values they embody. The overall themes of the first two books relate to the development in Israel of a sanctuary-based community, while Deuter-onomy minimizes the cult, recapitulating earlier material, but also projecting an innovative point of view. Modern commentaries will be consulted, especially the new JPS commentaries. The traditional commentaries, Rashi and Radak, will also be used. Division: College Division Department: Bible
