Psychology 208 - Hebrew Bible

Institution:

Colgate University

Subject:

Description:

L. Cushing This course acquaints students with the Hebrew Bible, known to Jews as the Tanakh and to Christians as the Old Testament. The course offers an understanding of the cultural world out of which the Bible came and of the modern cultural world it helped create. The primary approach to the text is literary, with the syllabus roughly following the canonical order of the Hebrew Bible and class discussion focused primarily on the text itself. Another emphasis is the ways the Bible has been interpreted by subsequent religious communities and the role of the Bible in American life. This course is crosslisted as JWST 208.
