TRS 162 - Biblical Themes in Literature

Upper Division

Prerequisites
TRS 097 or TRS 189.

Religious and biblical themes are woven into important works of literature. In this course, a series of literary pieces, both ancient and modern, will be studied from the point of view of the theological horizon of their authors and the faith that is being imaged in them. (This course often features a critical reading of biblical texts like Genesis, Exodus, and Maccabees followed by a reading of plays and novels like Inherit the Wind, A Different Drummer, and The Chosen.)
