Description |
Can an understanding of the resident alien in the Bible help us reflect today concerning the manner in which we treat 'the foreigner' in our society and particular communities? Students in this course will conduct a literary survey of the resident alien (a translation of the Hebrew term ) throughout various biblical law codes. Using a method of inner-biblical criticism and reception history, students will observe contextual changes in meaning of this figure through time. Texts to be studied will range from Ancient Near Eastern law codes, law codes of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), along with readings from the Septuagint, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the New Testament. |
Pre-Requisites | Introduction to Old Testament I or permission of the instructor. |
