Minor Prophets

Catalog description

TAUGHT BY CDSP. The course focuses on the analysis of the prophets in the book of the twelve to gain a respect for the antiquity and cultural remoteness of these prophetic writings and to grapple with the variety of their possible meanings; to fathom a long history of interpretation in which these texts have been wielded for causes both beneficial and harmful, and to develop hermeneutical skills and voices as responsible interpreters, aware of our social locations in relationships to power and privilege.
