JWST 3120 Modern Hebrew Literature and the Bible
Modern Hebrew Literature and the Bible
This course will introduce students to the ongoing dialogue between the Jewish People and the Hebrew Bible, their defining text. Through the reading of the Biblical text alongside Rabbinic texts composed in the first millennium of the Common Era and Hebrew Poetry of the twentieth century, students will learn how later Jewish readers employed gaps in the text to make the Bible relevant to them.
