HIST 1601 - THE BIBLE: ARCHAEOLOGY AND HISTORY
Minimum Credits: 3

The Bible, one of the most foundational documents of Western Civilization, has arguably exercised greater influence than any other written work-not only over religious, spiritual, and philosophical attitudes-but also on concepts of morality, social justice, literature, law, the arts and history. In contrast to many religious traditions, the Bible anchors its narratives in historical place and time and with reference to individuals and specific events. Accordingly, the product of the Biblical authors and compilers can be illuminated by means of the fraternal disciplines of archaeology and history-the intent of this course. Both the Hebrew Scriptures (the “Old Testament” in Christian terminology) and the Christian New Testament are studied as well as non-canonical writing, such as the Jewish Pseudepigrapha and the Gnostic Gospels of early Christianity.
