Reading the Patriarchal & Matriarchal Stories in Genesis
RELI W4504x


Credits:4 pts.
Why did the ancient Israelites describe their beginnings as they did?   In this course, we will do a "close reading" of the patriarchal and matriarchal stories in Genesis, keeping close attention to their messages in relation to the historical background in which they were written and the poetics of the biblical narrative.
