Focused on the Hebrew Scriptures (the Old Testament), this course immerses you in biblical "wisdom," a message-rich form with no single definition but having distinctive, compelling and unexpected viewpoints. We will explore it as a cosmic concept and conduct code, as an ancient imperative and premodern experiment, from which we will build diverse "wisdom models." Please pre-read Proverbs and Ecclesiastes as a baseline. It is highly recommended to bring a bible of your choice to class.
