| Description |
This course examines the first five books of sacred scripture, known as the Pentateuch, and the Historical books from a structural, literary, cultural, and historical perspective. Using the synchronic method in the first part of the course, the emphasis will be on the structure of the first five books, showing how they are connected and reveal an identification code for the postexilic community. The second half of the course, using the diachronic method, will explore the Historical books, showing how they are grouped as Deuteronomist History, Chroniclers’ History, and Maccabean History. |
