BBCL 601 - Latter Prophets and Sacred Writings

3 credits
This course situates ancient Israel’s Latter Prophets and Sacred Writings within the canon of the Hebrew Bible, examines the importance of these texts in characterizing and responding to religious and political crises in pre- and postexilic Israel, discusses the multiple genres of this biblical corpus, and highlights key theological themes and exegetical significance for ministry. Using various methods of interpretation (e.g., historical-critical, social-scientific, literary-critical, theological-canonical, and contextual approaches), the course examines the ongoing significance of these texts in shaping the character and structure of justice-oriented work and living by and for communities of faith. Prerequisite or Corequisite: BBCL 501
