LIT 225 - Bible As Literature

3 Cr.

This course will focus on a multi-faceted study of the Bible as a literary text. We will focus on the origin, history, composition, translation and re-translations of the Bible in successive stages until the formation of the biblical canon. The course will focus on well known episodes and passages and examine their literary forms and promote interpretation through literary methods. As literature we will explore the Bible as an amalgam of poetry, myth, legend, prophecy, folklore and wisdom. This is a survey course in which prior knowledge of the Bible will be helpful, but not required. (Occasionally offered.)
Pre-Requisites: ENG 102 or permission of the Humanities Division Chair.
