WREL.1018 The Bible
An introduction to the most influential book in world history, from the Law and the Prophets (Old Testament) to the Gospels and other writings of early Christians (New Testament). Class discussions revisit biblical debates on such topics as whether Israel should have a king, whether Christians should keep the laws of Moses and whether women should lead worship. Questions of authorship, historical accuracy, and literary forms of the Bible are considered, especially as students learn to do exegeses of short passages.
