BBST 758 - Cultural Identity and the Book of Ruth

3 credits
The course will examine how theories on cultural identity (including discussions on literature, history, and ethnicity) are assumed, constructed, challenged, and re-imagined in the book of Ruth. With particular emphasis on ethnogenesis in ancient Israel, the course will interpret the book of Ruth as a product of the Persian period, but also expand the discussion to include contemporary interpretations of Ruth. Knowledge of Hebrew is encouraged but not required. Signature of instructor required for registration.
