THE284: Old Testament Exegesis

This unit provides detailed study of major blocks of material from the Old Testament, enabling students to develop skills in a variety of exegetical approaches while examining literary, historical, sociological and theological features. There will be opportunity to use Biblical Hebrew, but ability to read Hebrew is not essential and is not part of assessment. Each semester will have a different focus, and the unit may be taken more than once, with different content.
