TH 223 - History and Storytelling in the Bible

(3.00 cr.)

The Bible tells a history of the Israelites, early Judaism, the life of Jesus, and the early Christian church. How does its way of writing history compare to contemporary historiography, and to what we know from other sources? This course helps students understand the Bible's rhetorical, theological, and historical aims by reading the Bible's account of events and secondary sources. Same course as CL 223 .
