Graduate Assistant: Mr. Bradley

Purpose of the course:
To familiarize the student with the contents of the Bible and the
development of the early Church. Special emphasis will be placed
on theological themes of perennial interest and significance of the
Bible for Christian thought and practice as well as the relationship of
Christianity to Judaism.
Required texts:
The HarperCollins Study Bible : New Revised Standard Version
With the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical Books (San Francisco:
HarperCollins, 1997).
Other readings:
Various secondary readings will also be required and can be found
in the appended bibliography (internet links are provided for
documents in the public domain). These readings will be listed as
author with the title of the article or book. For example, for
the tenth session of this course you will find the reading Levenson,
Sinai and Zion, 23-36.
Formal requirements:
Regular attendance at all required sessions.
For the homework assignments, students will turn in a substantial
paragraph (not to exceed one page) that answers a question that the
instructor will pose about the reading. These answers should
demonstrate a thoughtful consideration of both the Biblical text and
the assigned secondary reading when applicable.
