Description:

L. Cushing The Hebrew Bible is often thought of as univocal, presenting itself as the word and the law of the God of Israel. The Writings, known in Hebrew as Ketuvim, constitute the third part of the Hebrew Bible and show just how varied the Bible can be. The literature in this group is diverse: it comprises religious poetry (Psalms, Lamentations), love poetry (Song of Songs), wisdom writings (Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes), theological history (Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah), didactic fiction (Ruth and Esther), and apocalypse (Daniel). In reading these books, students consider the cultural, historical, and social worlds that shaped these writings. Particular emphasis is placed on the interrelationships between the writings' literary forms and their theological meaning. This course is crosslisted as JWST 212.
