RE 115 Understanding the Hebrew Bible

This is a study of the Hebrew Scriptures through assigned readings in the English translation. Class lectures and discussions emphasize understanding of the text in the context of the historical background as well as the genre of literature in which each individual book was written. A summary review of the content and basic intent of each book is considered as well as its placement in the whole collection of books traditionally accepted as the Old Testament.
