TRS 801B The Book of Judges
This graduate seminar will be devoted to the reading and critical study of the biblical books of Judge. The focus will be the Masoretic text in the Biblia Hebraica Quinta, but the ancient versions, as well as archaeological and textual sources from elsewhere in the ancient Near East will be scrutinized. Particular attention will be given to textual criticism, redaction criticism, folkloristic and narrative approaches. The course will include readings on the archeology and historiography of the Early Iron Age.
