NSOM 6315 Prophets
This course is designed to introduce the student to historical, literary, and theological aspects of the Prophetic Literature of the Old Testament in the context of the ancient Near East and the Bible. Students will employ exegetical methodologies used by contemporary biblical scholars to enhance their understanding and appreciation of the beautiful poetry and literary aspects of the prophetic tradition. This, in turn, will help them develop a theological perspective that will serve to bring the message of the prophets in to the twenty-first century.
