RELI 339 The Bible as Literature
This course is a literary study of the Bible (both Testaments), with emphasis on rhetoric, characters, plot, setting, metaphors, and themes. The focus of the course is on close readings of selected narratives and poems in the Bible. Biblical texts are examined in their final literary form, with less emphasis on reconstructing political, social, and religious ideas that lie beneath the surface of the text.
