RELG 161.00 Making Meaning of the Hebrew Bible 6 credits

Sonja Anderson

Since antiquity, the Hebrew Bible has been read through various lenses and made meaningful to communities of readers through a range of interpretive methodologies and techniques. In this introductory class, we will survey different genres of literature found in the Hebrew Bible and consider how interpreters, classical and modern, have read the text and found it relevant in their lives. We will also examine how the Bible as a bounded text came to be, and how it has inspired devotion, critiques, political and social movements. Requires no previous knowledge and will use sources in translation.
