CBS Recommends—A Survey of the Books of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible

The Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) is the basis for Christian Scripture, liturgy, and theological reflection, but remains for most Christians a closed and intimidating library of books. This course will survey the books of the Old Testament through group instruction and discussion of assigned readings to be completed between each session.

Readings will be assigned between meetings from Michael D. Coogan’s, The Old Testament: A Historical and Literary Introduction to the Hebrew Scriptures. Copies of Coogan’s book will be available for purchase at the first session at a cost of $45.00 each.

This event is not sponsored by the Catholic Biblical School, but is authorized as a "make-up" for certain missed requirements. Specifically, sessions in this series could substitute for a Scripture Day that covers the same topic. Contact BJ Daly Horell to pursue this option.
