3.00 Credits
In this course we will try to examine the historical circumstances and contexts surrounding the writing of The Hebrew Bible. Roughly speaking, we will begin by exploring three aspects of the subject: Historical context of the writing of the Bible-i.e. during the organizing and communicating of each segment. History of the canonization: the ideas and rationale behind including some books but not others. History in the Bible. In more specific terms, this will entail examining who wrote the Bible, when and why. The narrative incorporates the movement from an oral tradition to a written one and will demand some focus on certain pivotal moments, e.g., Ezra's reading (cf. Ezra-Nehemiah), or the historical events in Kings and Chronicles, or the defeat of the northern kingdom of Israel in 722 B.C.E. (BC) and of the southern kingdom of Judah in 589 B.C.E. 3.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture CASL - Administration Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
