| Title |
Reading the Bible (BA Workshop) |
| Description |
This workshop is geared at introducing students to the Bible as a major work of literature and a key text of our culture. We will discuss central texts from both the Old Testament and the New Testament, such as Genesis, Exodus, Job, Jonah, Song of Salomon, the Gospels, Letters of Paul, and the Revelation. Starting from our careful reading of relevant passages, we will discuss the role of the Bible for literature and language from a historical perspective and reflect on its place in our own culture. Also, we will look into how you can use the Bible in your studies and we will cover practical matters such as which translations and editions to use, where to find commentaries, how to find relevant passages, how to quote them, etc.
Required Reading: Students are asked to buy the following edition: The Bible. Authorized King James Version with Apocrypha. Introduction and Notes by Robert Caroll and Stephen Prickett. Oxford World Classics. Oxford 1997. It will be much easier if we all work with the same edition. A limited number of copies will be available at the LibRomania. |
