The goal of this required introductory course is to provide a historical and theological foundation for the study, preaching, and teaching of the Hebrew Bible in both parish and counseling settings. This course will follow Israel’s history and relationship with God from its conception in the 12th century BCE through its birth, death, and rebirth in Judaism during the Roman period. Students will be equipped with the exegetical tools necessary for drawing historical and theological conclusions based on the Hebrew text, mindful that how we understand ancient Israel and its ancient texts impacts how we appreciate our relationships with God, one another, and ourselves.
