REL 213 - Psalms and Wisdom Literature

(3)

FA, SP, SU. This course first examines the Psalms and explores how the Israelites interacted with God, how they talked to God, and how they thought about God. The course then turns to the wisdom books of Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes to consider how the Israelites explained two fundamental things: how the world worked, and how a person was supposed to live in such a world. Prerequisite: Foundations of Christianity I or appropriate transfer credit.
