ENGL 234 - bible as Literature- New Testament

Institution:

Antelope Valley College

Subject:

Description:

3 units 3 hours weekly Prerequisite: Completion of ENGL 101. This transfer-level course surveys the New Testament as a work of literature in translation. Students read, discuss, and write about a substantial and representative selection of its texts. They are introduced to contemporary academic scholarship surrounding the New Testament, both literary and historical; they also learn about, and apply, rhetorical and literary-critical methods for reading it. As literature in translation, the New Testament is reflected upon, not just in its historical context, but in its appropriation, over time and space, by subsequent readers, writers, artists, translators, and filmmakers. This survey is characterized by critical thinking, close textual reading, class discussion, and analytic writing. (CSU, UC, AVC)
