As stated in the course syllabus, "As a group of co-learners explore an introductory survey of the Hebrew Bible and the history of ancient Israel up through the emergence of Judaism and the Second Temple period. Focusing on crucial theological and hermeneutical issues which emerge out of our reflection on the place of the Hebrew Bible in Christian faith and the life of the church today:
To outline the contents of the Hebrew Bible
To trace the history of ancient Israel and Second Temple Judaism.
To reconstruct the emergence of the literature of the Hebrew Bible out of the life of ancient Israel.
To hear the questions and perspectives of people from diverse racial, cultural, and economic contexts as they/we encounter the Hebrew Bible.
To develop a critical consciousness of the ideological nature of both the theological witnesses within the Hebrew Bible and contemporary appropriation of those witnesses.
To discover how the Hebrew Bible can inform Christian faith and practice, i.e. serve as a resource for the life of the church."
