1 HUMA1850 THE BIBLE IN MODERN CONTEXTS 2014 SUMMER SYLLABUS COURSE DIRECTOR: Tony S. L. Michael LECTURES: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4:00 7:00 P.M. (Ross Building - North 146) OFFICE: Room 035 McLaughlin College (in the basement) OFFICE HOURS: Tuesdays & Thursdays: 3:00-4:00 or via appointment COURSE DESCRIPTION: This is an academic study of an ancient collection of books known as the Bible that can be readily divided into two parts: the Old Testament (or Hebrew Bible/Tanach) and the New Testament (or Greek Bible). Students who are unfamiliar with this text may find our exploration of it intriguing, fascinating and even, perhaps, unsettling as we uncover an amazing array of human perspectives about divine entities and how various authors believe they are advised, cajoled and commanded to interact with their god(s) yes, there is more than one god written about in the Bible. Students who have concluded that the Bible is a divine revelation of God may not enjoy this course and are warned to think long and hard about whether or not they wish to subject their religious faith to rational academic inquiry. This course is not about truth per se it is about considering the most likely of logical and historically plausible explanations based on the shared experience of humankind as the basis of our informed opinions about this book. The key to a good grade is learning how to read the text within the context of the ancient cultures that produced them. This voyage is not for assertively dogmatic individuals, however, if using your eyes to read for yourself and your mind to think for yourself is something you like to do come aboard!

3 TUTORIALS (20%) RULES: Tutorial participation grade is a construction of the following factors. There is no specific mathematical formula applied. Everybody starts with a B (14/20). This assumes completing every assignment according to the following requirements. Doing anything less, lowers the grade. Participating in discussion and providing more scholarly, thoughtful responses raises the grade. To complete an assignment you must fulfill all of the following requirements: 1. You must submit your tutorial assignment to the correct Turnitin.com site on time. If it is not submitted by 4:00 P.M. of each class that an assignment is required it is too late. 2. You must bring a printed copy of the assignment to each tutorial session. Laptop and electronic device copies are not acceptable. Material shown in class or handed in must be exactly what was submitted to Turnitin.com. 3. You must answer all the questions in your own words. There is no research expected other than the assigned readings. Simply cutting-and-pasting material from websites, the Bible and/or the course text will render it an incomplete assignment. Submissions with more than 15% plagiarism showing will lower the participation grade. Do not copy the questions. Just give your answers but number them properly. 4. Any one using previously submitted material obtained from a former student or submitting work collaborated on with a current or former student is committing plagiarism and MAY be given one warning before said materials are given to the dean s office for discipline. 5. You must attend the full tutorial partial attendance does not count at all. Submitted Turnitin.com assignments do not count if you, yourself, do not attend the full tutorial. If you must leave early then take your assignment with you and go. You receive no credit for incomplete work. Your Turnitin submission is ignored unless it is plagiarized. 6. Participating in the weekly discussions is also an important factor. Merely attending or poorly preparing for each tutorial may help improve your knowledge and skill sets but it will not earn anything towards the participation grade per se. DATE TUTORIAL ASSIGNMENTS MUST ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS AND UPLOAD TO TURNITIN BEFORE CLASS BEGINS MUST BRING A HARD COPY TO CLASS AND STAY FOR ENTIRE TUTORIAL BIBLICAL SCHOLARSHIP READING: Exodus #1 May 8 ASSIGNMENT TWO PARTS: (see IB page 17) 1. Scholars see two accounts of deliverance in Exodus based on the narrative version in chapter 14 versus the poetic version of the same event in chapter 15. a. The question is can you see different versions here? You need to read the text very carefully. b. Most importantly describe the main differences that you see. 2. Write a half-page to one-page statement or mini-autobiography of your past encounters with the Bible. a. Which parts of it have been most central in such encounters? b. Have you studied the Bible in an academic context before? c. Have you had unusually positive or negative experiences with the Bible or people citing it? READING: Judges This is the story of a judge of Israel, Samson #2 May 13 ASSIGNMENT: I would argue that Samson is a fool. He shames his people by his relations with strange women who manipulate him. Why does the Saga of Samson celebrate a fool? 1. If you disagree with my position then explain what kind of person IS being celebrated if not a fool and offer evidence from the biblical text in support of your opinion. Avoid giving your personal theology as evidence but rather show how the author of the text conveys this. What is there within these four chapters that proves to you that Samson was not a fool? 2. If you agree, then offer evidence in support of my conclusion and answer the question Why does the Saga of Samson celebrate a fool? Be sure to cite references from the biblical source in support of your opinion. NB: Either way, you need to read the stories very carefully if not two or three times in order to understand why it was written as it was written. The point of this exercise is for you to demonstrate that you have read a text carefully and can construct a response based on the reading and not read into the text what it cannot support. 3
4 KINGSHIP IN ANCIENT ISRAEL READING: 1 Samuel 8 (Saul is made king), Psalms 2, 110, 45 (The Royal Psalms) #3 May 15 ASSIGNMENT: See IB p. 57ƒ 1. Do you see evidence of a negative view about kingship in 1 Samuel 8? Give examples. 2. Do you see evidence of a positive view about kingship in the Royal Psalms (2, 110, 45)? Give examples. 3. How would you account for this difference in attitude about kingship between the time the prose was written and the time the poetry was written? CREATION NARRATIVES AND THE OT AND MODERN FILM READING: Genesis 2-3. RENT, BORROW OR WATCH ON THE INTERNET: Wall-E, 2008 (Dir. Andrew Stanton) #4 May 20 ASSIGNMENT: Be sure to read the Garden of Eden story in Genesis 2-3 before you watch the movie. 1. How is the Genesis story of Adam and Eve clearly a macro text or, in other words, consciously being adapted into this modern narrative (animated film)? Give examples. 2. Any evidence of microintertextuality or direct borrowing from the Genesis narrative in the film? Give examples. 3. How does it both incorporate and reread the original narrative? In other words, how does this retelling update the basic narrative of a couple being exiled from in paradise? Remember: Think in terms of the story as written in Genesis and forget anything else you may think you know about this story! THE PROPHETS READING: Isaiah 1-7 #5 May 22 ASSIGNMENT: Read the introduction to Isaiah in the NOAB text, especially Historical Contexts. Then read the first six chapters of Isaiah to gain a sense of prophetic oracles. Note how poetry can be difficult to read. Read the prose of chapter 7 very carefully and do not ignore the information found in the footnotes. This chapter records what is likely an actual historical event. Answer each of the following questions: 1. Paraphrase in your own words what is happening at this time in chapter 7. a. Who are the important people in the incident recorded there? At least 5 people are referred to. Identify all 5 of them. b. What is their relationship to each other? c. Why are they interacting at this time? d. Why does the prophet Isaiah make an appearance? 2. Why does Isaiah give a sign and what does the sign mean in the context of the story? Be sure to interpret the sign in terms of its original context and explain how it is meant to help the king to whom it is given.

(See also IB, p ) EXILIC ISRAEL I READING: 1 Kings 8-9 #7 May 29 ASSIGNMENT: Read 1 Kings 8-9 The Dedication Prayer of King Solomon. Concentrate on Solomon s actual temple dedication prayer in 1 Kings 8:22 9:9 but do not neglect what precedes and what follows. 1. Name those who are involved in the dedication and briefly describe how it unfolds in terms of the ceremony and the elements of worship. Use you own words. Do not simply copy the text. 2. What do you see in the contents of the actual prayer that surprises you given the context of the prayer? You will have to read it carefully. a. For example, Can you find references to things or events that Solomon, the builder of Israel s first magnificent temple, could not have or simply would not have said? b. Isolate those expressions or sentences that you find strange in a dedicatory prayer for something that was suppose to be the greatest moment in Israelite history. 3. As a historical, literary critic, when would you say the prayer, or at least those parts of it that do not fit the context were most likely written? Why? Hint: What period of Israelite history are we studying this week? 4

The following questions are to help you discover (a) literary structure, (b) author s perspective and (c) the particular theologies within the text. Try to not read the text from your own theological perspective. Allow the text to give you its own, very interesting theology. Be sure to answer all of the following questions as best you can. Try not to leave anything unanswered. READ THE BIBLICAL TEXT VERY CAREFULLY 1. What appears to be the major focus in this narrative? In other words, if you had to say what essentially happened here in one sentence, what would you say? 2. Can you see a literary plan or a literary structure in this section? For example: a. Does the passage read easily or do you find it a bit awkward or stilted at times? Give examples. b. Do you notice any repetitive statements or incidents? What are they? c. Is there anything in this passage that does not make sense? What is it and why does it not make sense? 3. What do you think the author is trying to say about the divine being (God) in this reading? a. Is the god presented consistently throughout the reading in terms of character and by name? b.

7 RESEARCH PAPER (DUE: AUG 5) GRADE VALUE: 15% Academic scholars of the Bible use various methods in interpreting it. On pages xi-xii of your Carr & Conway text there are fifteen specific references to these methods listed (see below). I suggest that you use the index at the back of the book to find examples elsewhere of how to employ these methods. 1. Textual Criticism 8 2. Tradition History and Transmission History Poetic Analysis Source Criticism The Joseph Story and Literary Approaches Postcolonial Criticism (Study of) lntertextuality Insights from History of Religions Form Criticism and Genre Form Criticism in the New Testament Narrative Criticism of the Gospels Redaction Criticism Social-Scientific Approaches to the New Testament Feminist Criticism and Gender Criticism Cultural Criticism of the Bible 354 Read carefully all of them and choose the three that you can argue make the most important or the most effective or the most valuable contributions to biblical exegesis (critical explanation or interpretation of a text). This requires an argument so you need to decide what is or are the most important, effective or valuable things to know as a scholar and which three methods provide this better than the others. It is entirely your choice to make. There is no specific correct answer only well-argued answers. Typically your introductory paragraph will explain briefly this essential thing or things to know and why and then in single a thesis statement argue it. For example: A, B and C are the best methods for demonstrating D (insert your essential item[s]). This will be followed by three paragraphs proving what you say in your thesis statement is valid. Each paragraph will introduce and define one of your three methods and provide biblical examples of how it proves your contention. A final, fifth paragraph, will simply and briefly summarize your conclusion which is your thesis statement already given in the introductory paragraph. Specific Requirements (failure to follow them will lose marks): 1. You must have a title that suggests your thesis and not simply the assignment. For example, Reflection Paper is NOT a proper title. 2. Type using Times New Roman font, size 12. One inch borders on all four sides. 3. Double-space (not 1.5 or 2.5 spacing). MLA double-spaces the essay and the Works Cited list. 4. Include page numbers with your last name as indicated by MLA. 5. Minimum five pages; maximum seven pages, not including the Works Cited List. 6. Use MLA for in-text citations and the Works Cited page and the first page you do not require a title page. Use MLA first page rules ( The OWL site will provide everything you need to know about MLA and you are expected to follow those requirements. Marks will be deducted for not doing so. 7. Submit it electronically to Turnitin.com by 4:00 PM on Tuesday, August 8, 2014 as one document that includes your Works Cited. It will be graded on Turniti.com. Late papers will not be accepted without a medical note detailing a health issue that your doctor will indicate prevents you from writing and submitting this paper on time. 7
