Old Testament Scripture. This survey provides an orientation to the basic shape of the Torah, Prophets and Writings, and to matters of canon, text, criticism, interpretation, background and religious context.

The Ten Commandments (Text & Interpretation). A departure from the usual T&I format, this course offers a detailed historical, theological and hermeneutical look at one of the most famous texts in the Bible.

RLGS 449

Creation and the Old Testament (Biblical Theological Themes). While laying emphasis on Old Testament contexts, this seminar also covers broader historical and theological dimensions of a core Christian doctrine.
