LDC100 – The Bible as Literature

Thursdays, April 12-May 17  6-8pm

Dr. William Hunter

This six-week course will deal with the Bible as a work of literature.  This means that in addition to its theological value, the Bible may also be read as a creative work, or a work of art.  There are a number of valuable methodologies used in the study of literature which provide insights into how the Bible was developed and how to read it from a variety of perspectives.  The course will deal with a wide variety of literary genres in both the Old and New Testaments.

Story of the Bible Part I Student

It has made me very interested and excited to study the Old Testament on my own, in a more in-depth way than I ever have before.

Story of the Bible Part I Student

This course offered more than the title of the class gives away. We dove into the Old Testament and studied how themes in the OT are developed throughout the entire Bible. I will readily admit, I have not given much thought to the Bible as one whole story before this class. For ANY student looking to gain further understanding of the Bible, Old Testament, and the Jewish and surrounding cultures, TAKE THIS CLASS!

The class deepened my understanding of parallels in God’s presence throughout the Old Testament.

This course has given me a deeper understanding of the Torah and how it relates to the New Testament.

This course confirmed to me that, even with a busy work and family life, it’s possible to get some quality learning and not have to compromise. Not to sound hyperbolic, but this course (and the others I plan to take after it) gave me a lot of hope and optimism.
