Why God Lies: The Difficulty Deity of the Hebrew Bible
Exploration of difficult passages of the Hebrew Bible in which the deity appears to fib, connive, or outright lie to patriarchs, prophets, and the people. This is not a course in theology, but one which requires an academic and secular approach. Students work to understand the texts of Hebrew Bible in their cultural and historical context, so class material also includes the study and comparison of other myths and narratives of the Ancient Near East. Fulfills the Cultural [C] or Textual [T] requirement.
