Description:

This course is a detailed study of the civilizations and culture of the ancient Near East from the Early Bronze Age to the end of the Iron Age. The purpose of the course is to provide the milieu of the books of the Hebrew Bible so that each book may be more easily understood and more accurately interpreted. Attention will be given to the socio-cultural reconstruction of each period and the relevance of the historical and archaeological discoveries to an understanding of the patriarchal narratives, the conquest of Palestine, the monarchy, and the period covering the exile and return. This course examines the history, literature, and artifacts of the so-called Bible Lands, with emphasis upon its contribution to exegesis. The course involves a comprehensive reading of extra-biblical material in order to master the subject. (Old Testament emphasis).
