THE 627 The Prophets
This course provides an historical, literary, and theological overview of the prophets and the prophetic books in the Hebrew Bible. Although we look at the Former Prophets, most of the class focuses on the Latter (Writing) Prophets. When possible, students read prophetic books in their entirety, but for longer books they read selected texts. By the end of this course students better appreciate the rich diversity of form, style, and theology found in the prophetic books. Classes may be taught in an in-class, hybrid, or online format and have set times that require virtual participation.
