This course will explore the genre of apocalypse, looking for common themes that characterize this form of literature. Our primary source readings will be drawn from the Bible and non-canonical documents from the early Jewish and Christian traditions. We will use an analytical perspective to explore the social functions of apocalyptic, and ask why this form has been so persistent and influential.; Enrollment Limit: 25 Div: III; Approach: Cross-Cultural Analysis (CC), Critical Interpretation (CI); Humanities (; Hav: HU) |
