RELIGIOUS STUDIES 112 - Introduction to Judaism:Classical Texts. Every Fall

Institution:

Franklin and Marshall College

Subject:

Description:

Focuses on a number of classical Jewish texts ranging from the biblical period to the present. With the exceptions of a few selections from the modern period, all have had their impact on Jewish culture through the Hebrew language. The chief aim of the course is to immerse students in questions these texts raise, thus exposing them to the continuity and change in Jewish self-understanding over time. Students will become aware of key concepts (e.g., covenant, chosenness, prophecy, exile, redemption, Jewish law) and the continuing debates around them. Course will also discuss important events in Jewish history in order to contextualize the literature. Same as JST 112. Klein
