RELG 203 - History and Religion of Ancient Israel


Fall and Spring (3) Galambush, McCall (College 200, CSI, GER 4B,5)

An exploration of the origins and development of the ancient nations of Israel and Judah in their cultural and historical contexts. The course examines archaeological, epigraphic, and literary evidence from Mesopotamia, Canaan, and Egypt to understand both the history and worldview of the ancient Israelites. The Hebrew Bible is explored in depth as document in dialogue with but not identical to the religious beliefs and practices of ancient Israel. (This course is anchored in the CSI domain, and also considers aspects of the ALV domain.)
