IBS 626 - Jeremiah

Institution:

Asbury Theological Seminary

Subject:

Description:

Stone An overview of the book as a whole followed by intensive analysis of selected portions. Alongside general principles bearing upon the interpretation of prophetic literature, students also consider how factors such as the divergent textual witnesses, literary types, theological emphases, and compositional processes apparent in Jeremiah affect the interpretation of the book. The theological significance of the "new covenant" and of the figure of Jeremiah for theology and preaching, particularly in the Wesleyan tradition, receives attention. This course seeks intentionally to incorporate the grammatical analysis of the Hebrew language into the overall inductive process. Prerequisite: NT(IBS)510 or 511; and OT501 or equivalent (completed or taken concurrently with this course). (May be taken by students in M.A. programs not requiring Hebrew by special arrangement with the professor.)
