1 General Class Details Calendar/Class Schedule New videos and class discussions will run during the weeks of October 31 (introductions); November 7, 14, 21, 28; December 5, 12, 19; January 2, 9, 16. Brief Description Everyone talks about the Bible, but few have read much of it. Given the central role of the Hebrew Bible (or Tanakh) in Judaism, this book must be read and understood even if you think it is deeply problematic or wrong in places. (And we are sympathetic to that perspective!) In this online course, we will explore much of the Hebrew Bible, and understand its meaning in its earliest contexts. This will also provide background for later units of Me ah, which will show how this central text was interpreted in ever-different ways, and used for a variety of different functions through the contemporary period. Goals Understand what the Bible meant in its earliest contexts. Examine how it relates to other ancient Near Eastern literature. Outline how the Bible became the Bible. Appreciate the difference between what the Bible meant and what it means. Observe how Judaism interpreted the Bible. Explore how we might use the Bible for understanding the development of Jewish ideas and practices. Recommended Books All readings are available on-line for the duration of the class. In addition, we recommend the following books for purchase for off-line reading and long-term enjoyment: The Jewish Study Bible, second edition (2014) [abbreviated JSB] Marc Zvi Brettler, How to Read the Jewish Bible [abbreviated HTR] Richard Elliott Friedman, Who Wrote the Bible? Tikva Frymer-Kensky, In the Wake of the Goddesses James Kugel, The Bible as it Was Structure of Modules 1
2 The course is divided into two parts. The first seven modules focus on biblical genres, structures, concepts, thought, theology and the historical setting of the biblical world. The last three modules are thematic, building on the knowledge and methodology already studied. Professor Marc Brettler, internationally recognized Hebrew Bible scholar, designed the class. Professor Brettler is Morton and Elaine Professor of Judaic Studies and a member of the Department of Religious Studies at Duke University. He was previously Dora Golding Professor of Biblical Studies and chair of the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies at Brandeis University. Professor Brettler's research has been centered in several areas: the use of religious metaphors in the Hebrew Bible (God is King: Understanding an Israelite Metaphor, 1989), the nature of biblical historical texts as "literary" texts (The Creation of History in Ancient Israel, 1995; The Book of Judges, 2002), and gender and the Bible. He was co-editor of The Jewish Annotated New Testament (2011) and The New Oxford Annotated Bible (2001, revised 2010), co-author of The Bible and the Believer (2012), author of Biblical Hebrew for Students of Modern Hebrew (2002) and co-editor of The Jewish Study Bible (second edition, 2014), which was awarded a National Jewish Book Award. His book, How to Read the Bible, was published by the Jewish Publication Society in fall 2005, and in paperback as How to Read the Jewish Bible by Oxford University Press in Professor Brettler has been a Me'ah instructor since the program's inception in In 13 full hours of video, Professor Brettler guides us on a journey through the Hebrew Bible. Each module contains approximately 75 minutes of video divided into short viewing segments. Between segments, participants can complete exercises that reinforce their learning. Each module also includes one activity (usually discussion question) that allows for in-depth engagement. Participants are also encouraged to complete the recommended readings to enhance their learning experience. 2
3 Detailed Syllabus MODULE ZERO: Introduction and Orientation 1. Introduce goals of the course. 2. Introduce students to the Hebrew Bible. 3. Begin to create a sense of community among class participants and facilitator. 4. Allay student concerns about amount of work, technology, etc. Class Outline Students familiarize themselves with Schoology. Students and instructor introduce themselves. Students acquaint themselves with the goals and structure of the class (listed earlier in Overview). Students view Marc s introduction to the content of the class and to the Hebrew Bible. MODULE ONE: Introduction and Creation of the World In this module, we will explore the history of Israel and its place in the ancient Near East, the structure of the Bible, and different methodologies of interpreting the text. We will then critically analyze the creation stories at the beginning of Genesis. Break student misconceptions about the Bible. Give the students information about the Bible and its context. Introduce source criticism. Introduce importance of understanding a text s genre as part of interpretation. Introduce importance of understanding a text s structure as part of interpretation. Recommended Reading On the Hebrew Bible, Biblical Israel, Approaches to the Study of the Bible.

4 Susan Niditch, Genesis, Women s Bible Commentary, Third edition, These readings provide important historical and geographical background on the Hebrew Bible as well as an introduction to classical and modern perspectives on its study. This amount of reading is longer than normal as it includes readings about the Hebrew Bible as a whole as well as readings on Genesis, the first book of the Hebrew Bible. Although readings are optional, those who read them will get more out of this class. MODULE TWO: The Creation of Israel, and Exodus and Sinai In this module, we will study misconceptions about Genesis-Exodus as historical documents and explore what history might mean in the Bible. We will also examine in detail the sacrifice of Isaac (the Aqedah), and see if it can be seen as a polemic against child sacrifice. Break student misconceptions about Genesis-Exodus being historical. Reexamine what history might mean in the Hebrew Bible. Break student stereotypes about the Aqedah as a polemic against child sacrifice by having them look at the text closely. Have students better understand source-criticism. On Creation of Israel: Genesis Genesis along with HTR 49-59; P. Kyle McCarter Jr., The Patriarchal Age in The Rise of Ancient Israel, eds. Hershel Shanks et al., 1-29; Genesis 22, on the Aqedah, the binding of Isaac along with Erich Auerbach, Odysseus Scar, from Mimesis, Why is the Aqedah, the binding of Isaac (chapter 22) so central in Judaism, and what does this chapter convey?

5 MODULE THREE: Biblical Law: What is it? In this module, we will explore the three main legal collections in the Bible in Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy. We will also examine the differences between modern and ancient Near Eastern law and how ancient Near Eastern law sheds light on biblical law. Understand the difference between modern and ancient Near Eastern law. Understand biblical law within its ancient Near Eastern context. Appreciate that the Torah has three main legal collections. Understand some basic features of each collection. Introductions to Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy, and Exodus 20-23, Deuteronomy 5, and Leviticus 1-3, 15-16, 19, 23, 25 in the JSB; Bruce Wells, What is Biblical Law?

These texts are not historical in our sense. Although they may contain the building blocks for history, they are not an objective retelling of the past. In this module, we will use the Book of Samuel to study different senses of history and various uses of the past in the Bible. We will then look at the concept of prophecy by taking a close look at the Book of Amos as a paradigmatic text for understanding a prophetic book. We will examine the main themes of prophecy, and the difference between a prophetic book and a prophet. : Understand different sense of history and different uses of the past in the Bible. Reinforce how narrative structure is important for meaning (cf. Gen 1-3). Understand the concept of G/god involved in a society that assumes prophecy is real. Use Amos as a paradigmatic text for understanding a prophetic book, the main themes of prophecy, and the difference between the prophetic book and the prophet. On Historical Texts 5

After introducing the features of biblical poetry, we will examine some biographical passages about prophets. We will recognize that the image of a prophet as a fighter for social justice is not the whole, or even the main story of what a prophet does. Finally, we will see how a Talmudic passage reads a set of biblical texts. Recognize the diversity within biblical prophecy. Learn to do form-criticism. Recognize that the image of a prophet as a fighter for social justice has some truth to it, but is not the whole story. See how a Talmudic passage reads a set of biblical texts.

7 After reading these texts, evaluate the idea that biblical prophecy is often seen as a radical, positive development in ancient Israel, where rigid legalism has been rejected in favor of ethical monotheism. MODULE SIX: Psalms and Wisdom, Transformations of Prophecy and Other Genres in Exile In this module, we will recognize the diversity within biblical psalms and put into practice the form-critical analysis of Psalms, specifically focusing on understanding how genre has an impact on interpretation.
