ENGL 044: The Bible As Literature

Course Description

This course examines the Bible as an anthology, with each work influenced by its socio-political context, historical background and linguistic and literary milieu. To do so entails examination of different literary genres such as letters and poetry; devices such as parallelism and metaphor; as well as the Bible's compilation, transmission and translation processes. This course also examines its influence on English-language literature.
