HIS 5005 Biblical History
This course is a series of lectures, discussions and field trips that will survey the geography, history and archaeology of the Biblical Period. The goal of the course is to familiarize the student with the geography and material culture of Israel and the Ancient Near East, as the context of the Hebrew Bible and as aids in reconstructing the political, social and cultural history of biblical times. These are the frameworks upon which much of your future studies are founded.
