scripture.jpgWelcome back to our introductory course in Old Testament studies with Professor Christine Hayes of Yale University. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to study the Bible in a modern university, this has been your chance. This week, we continue our look at the "literary prophets". It's quite a romp through Micah, Zephaniah, Nahum and Habbakuk, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and 2nd Isaiah. (If you're not sure what "Second Isaiah" means, that's explained in the course too.) The course lectures are available here, with permission from Yale University, as audio, video and text. We've had some great feedback from Will & Testament readers who are enjoying the opportunity to eavesdrop on a university course in biblical studies -- and many are now fans of Christine Hayes, who is a superb lecturer. For some, this is a very different approach to the Bible. Even experienced readers of the Bible may find this quite challenging, because the course explores literary, historical, archaeological and philosophical questions emerging from the texts under examination. I'd be interested in your reaction so far to the Yale course.
