Course Description:
An examination of both biblical texts and recent novels and films, this course will explore how modern culture interacts with its classical sources. From James Baldwin to the Exodus and the Coen brothers to Job, students will begin by surveying the historical contexts of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, and then study how later traditions have aligned and disagreed with their scriptures. Since the course will focus on the ancient and modern works equally, no prerequisites nor prior knowledge of the subject matter is necessary. |
