Columbus State Community College

Subject:

Description:

This course offers a literary approach to the Bible in English. Students read, in a modern English translation, much of the Old Testament and the New Testament, as well as parts of the Apocrypha. This is not a course in religion. The approach is literary, historical and cultural. The Bible is read as an anthology of writings composed, compiled, translated and edited over several centuries, by many individuals, and as a book that has had an enormous effect on our culture, art and civilization.
