CNX 187 - The Bible as Literature

Description
The study of the Bible as literature engages the reader with the literary aspects of the Bible. The object of inquiry is not historical but literary, an intellectual challenge akin to reading Shakespeare. We will read the classic King James Bible and modern literary translations. Selections from both the Hebrew Bible and the Greek New Testament form the basis for learning to describe our observations and articulate our reactions to the rich and difficult language of the texts.
