ENGL 3050 - Bible and Literature I

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

The Bible and Literature I focuses on texts from the Hebrew Bible, or the Christian Old Testament, and the cultural afterlives of those texts. The biblical texts selected for study will vary from year to year, but recent examples include: the David story from 1 & 2 Samuel and 1 Kings; the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, Genesis 2-4; and the wisdom literature (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Job and certain Psalms). In addition to engaging in an in-depth, critical exploration of the selected books from the Bible, we will also examine many later cultural (i.e., theological, literary, musical, etc.) texts in which the biblical material and/or its themes is taken up and interpreted in various significant ways.
