Christian liturgy follows a structural pattern similar to that followed by the synagogue. This course, in English, unpacks the theology underlying the siddur (the traditional Jewish prayer book) including such concepts as God and prayer; God's justice vs God's mercy; prayer as a "song of lovers"; lover's quarrel in prayer; creation, revelation and redemption; sacrifice; the “chosen people”; thanksgiving; Jerusalem and the land of Israel; love and commandment; covenant; exodus; sin and repentance; human finitude; communal vs private prayer; scripted vs unscripted prayer; prayer vs action; universal vs particular; the role of scripture in prayer; and the choreography, structure and types of prayer. The course uses enquiry and deep reading, partnered study (havruta), and class discussion with some lecture providing value-added background and explanations. Collateral reading, class participation, two short reflections, and one research paper are required. Evaluation will be based on class participation, research paper and final exam.

A variety of recent political events have confronted students of theology with the spectre of violence in recent years, inevitably raising the question of how to engage the issue theologically. This course will aid students' engagement with various forms of violence (imperial, gender, economic, etc.) through the various New Testament authors and their own dealings with the issues. Indeed, insofar as the Bible is accorded significant political value, it is vital - regardless of one's own religious proclivities - to understand what the texts contained in the New Testament have to report on these issues in their own era. This course surveys various points at which New Testament authors encountered the violence. It aims to acquaint students with the social world of the New Testament, to familiarize students in major issues in the study of the New Testament, and to aid students in the development of a biblical hermeneutic conscious of its implications.
