Literary Art in the Bible

Catalog description

Description: This course will explore literary devices (foreshadowing, allegory, symbolism, etc) and how they are implemented in biblical texts. The Bible will be the primary focus, but comparative texts will be used to build an understanding and recognition of literary devices. We will examine the texts and their history on their own terms, rather than promote a particular religious or non-religious viewpoint. Same course as REL 4513 .
