Book of Genesis
What kind of texts are we dealing with in Genesis, and what difference should this make to our interpretation of them? Are they myth, or history, or both/neither? Have Christians been right to see what they have seen in these books over the centuries? What are the boundaries of legitimate interpretation? What does Genesis have to say to contemporary Christians and their world? These and other similar questions will provide the focus for our exegetical study of portions of the text.
Additional Info
On Campus and Online: This course is being offered on campus and online in Winter 2022. Students may apply to take this course online when registering for the course through REGIS. In order to support students who are unable to attend the regular online class sessions, recordings will be made available on the course Moodle page for 48 hours following each class. In some cases, attendance at other sessions may be required.
Under normal circumstances, it is expected that students taking book studies will have completed the other general prerequisites for 600 level BIBL courses. Students who have not done so may still register, but they should recognize that the course may sometimes presuppose a depth of understanding that they do not yet possess.
