TH 120 The Word of God
The Bible is the soul theology. It is also the most read book in human history. Knowledge of it is knowledge of Christ and human culture. In this course students are introduced to the Bible as the Word of God. Attention is given to its major themes, historical development, literary symbolism, and theological meaning all within its canonical unity. Special concern is given to the relationship of human and divine authorship, the Old and New Testaments, Scripture and Tradition, Scripture and liturgy, and the rich history of biblical interpretation in patristic, medieval, and modern sources.
