121(ABS 120)/Rel. 121. Introduction to the Tanakh/Old Testament. (3). (HU).
This course is designed to introduce the student to the modern
study of the Old Testament or Tanakh (no prerequisites). Lectures
and readings will focus on ancient Israel's religion, literature, and history and their contribution to modern Western civilization.
The approach will be literary, historical, and critical, using
methods employed by scholars of different religious persuasions.
ACABS 121 is designed to challenge the student with a series of
questions and issues often ignored or neglected in spite of the
widespread use of the Bible today. The course grade will be based
upon daily assignments, attendance, and quizzes (20%), two major
examinations (a midterm (40%), and a final (40%); the exams are
NOT cumulative). The required texts are the "Revised Standard
Version" of the Old Testament or the Jewish Publication Society's
"Tanakh," and a course pack. Cost:2

291. Topics in Ancient
Civilizations and Biblical Studies. (3). (Excl).
Section 102 – Paul and Revelation.
Have you ever wondered what the life and career of Paul, one of the first Christian missionaries, must have been like? Have you
ever considered what challenges the early Christians faced as they spread the word of their savior throughout the Roman Empire?
Have you ever read the Revelation to John and wondered how it
relates to Paul's writings or the other books of the New Testament?
In this course, we will concentrate on the life settings of both
Paul and John in an attempt to understand their respective writings
in their historical contexts. To achieve this understanding, we
will learn and apply modern interpretative techniques to these
influential works. There will be two papers (4-6 pp), a midterm
and a final exam. Cost:2
