Institution:

Rockford University

Subject:

Description:

This course seeks to encourage an appreciation of the great literary work known as the Hebrew Bible (Christian Old Testament) and the Christian New Testament. It is our task to apply analytic techniques customarily used in the study of all great literature. Set against the backdrop of the history and culture of the ancient Near East, the biblical texts will be read from a literary-historical perspective, that is, as a literary work in which the men and women of ancient Israel gave expression to an understanding of themselves and the world in which they lived.
