This course is a scholarly treatment of the Bible as literature that examines the many literary and cultural themes that originate in the Bible. Princeton University professors Michael Sugrue, Andrew Ford, Robert Hollander, and David Thurn take an analytical rather than a spiritual approach. The initial focus is on the Bible itself-a focus that extends back before Genesis by discussing the Gilgamesh epic. You then study a selection of books from the Old and New Testaments with an appreciation for literary forms. The balance of the course explores biblical themes in St. Augustine, Meister Eckhart, Dante, Thomas More, Martin Luther, Shakespeare, Milton, David Hume, Jonathon Swift, Kierkegaard, Dostoyevsky, Nietzsche, and James Joyce.Sugrue, Michael is the author of 'The Bible and Western Culture (The Great Courses: Literature and English Language)' with ISBN 9781565857124 and ISBN 1565857127.
