The formulation of an Old Testament theology is a summative and integrative task within Old Testament studies, yet no consensus exists on how an Old Testament theology should be conducted. In this course students will begin to develop their own understanding of, and approach to, Old Testament theology in its task, structure, scope, sources, uses, subject matter, and hermeneutical method. Students will engage both the discipline’s history and its critical questions. The course aims to help students shape an Old Testament theology that attends to the historical, literary, and thematic realities of Old Testament texts and how the message of those texts articulates with other canonical texts.
This course is being offered both in person (LEC 0101) and remote synchronously (LEC 6201). Please be sure you register for the proper section in ACORN.
Please note: All syllabi are considered draft until the first day of class. Please look for the final version of the course syllabus to be posted on the course's Quercus site.
