BBCL 700 - Bible and Theory

3 credits
Critical theory—more often simply called “theory”—has been one of the most important intellectual currents in the humanities since the latter decades of the twentieth century, and a resource for some of the most innovative work in biblical studies. This course introduces students to some of theory’s most influential manifestations, ranging from poststructuralist theory through postcolonial theory and queer theory to affect theory (to name but a few), and enables them to explore theory’s multifaceted potential for biblical interpretation. Signature required.
