SCR 504THE PENTATEUCH3
This course will undertake a synchronic reading of the Pentateuch in its present canonical form, emphasizing its literary coherence and unity as well as its main themes and theological content. In the course of this study, the contributions of historical, source, form, redaction and new literary criticism will also be considered, and in particular, some of the more recent Pentateuchal scholarship will be introduced. Patristic and rabbinic exegesis will also be treated in connection with key texts, figures and events. Questions of historicity, the relationship between Old and New Testaments and the enduring significance of the Pentateuch for Christianity will be handled throughout.

SCR 803JOHANNINE LITERATURE3
This course will consist of an analysis primarily of the fourth Gospel, but also more briefly of the three Epistles of John and the Book of Revelation, with special concern for the unique theology found in each of these works and the tools needed to preach the message that they contain. Consideration will be given to the role of the Beloved Disciple and to scholarly conjectures concerning community that preserved his message, but the primary object of study is the Gospel in its canonical form and the message that it contains. The Gospel’s exposition of the spiritual meaning of the Church’s Sacraments will be examined. The continuity, discontinuity and evolution within and among the various Johannine books of the New Testament will be explored. Different approaches to the Book of Revelation (Apocalypse) will be noted and evaluated, and a properly Catholic understanding of this work will be offered.
