RELS 323 - The Book of Revelation

Institution:

Randolph-Macon College

Subject:

Description:

This course will approach Revelation as an example of the literary genre "apocalypse." Through comparison with other apocalyptictexts (especially Daniel), and with prophetic materials from the Hebrew Bible, the student will gain entrance into the intricate symbolic world of Revelation. Consideration will be given to the likely social and historical context of the book, and to the light such information can cast upon the function of the work in its original setting. The focus of the course, however, will be the close reading of the text itself. Prerequisite: RELS 211 or 212, or permission of instructor. Area One: Biblical Studies. Speaking-intensive. Offered every three years. Three hours. Mr. Ross.
