RELI 376 Hebrew Bible/ Old Testament
This course will be an introduction to and exploration of the Jewish Tanak, or Hebrew Bible, which Christians call their Old Testament. We will focus mainly on trying to understand biblical texts in their own historical contexts, but we will also explore how the Bible functions as a historical primary source, as a cultural influence, as literature, as a starting point for religious and philosophical discussion and as scripture for both the Jewish and the Christian tradition.
