B, H, L, 3 credit hours Beginning where the Old Testament ends, this course surveys the history of God’s people, the Jews, until the time of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. Interrupted by only a brief interlude of independence, the Jews lived under continuous subjection, first by the Persians, then the Greeks, and finally the Romans. The literature of this period, though non-canonical, is vast. Selections from the primary sources will be read in English translation to develop an understanding of the history and theological interpretation of the time.
