FYS 1202 - What the Bible Really Says


An introduction to both the Tanakh (the Bible that Jews use) and the different Bibles used by Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant Christians.  Students will explore questions such as the following: Who wrote the books of the Bible, when and why?  Does what they say correspond to what we know of prehistory and history?  Do they contradict each other?  Why do different religious groups use different Bibles?  What books were left out of the Bible?  What does the Bible really say about issues like abortion, homosexuality, evolution, life after death, and the end of the world?  No prior knowledge of the Bible, Judaism, or Christianity is necessary.
Offered: Fall only, on demand
