REL 125 - HUM Shared Scriptures of Jews and Christians

4.00 credits.

(Humanities Core Course)
This course is an introduction to the shared scriptures of Jews and Christians (the Jewish Tanakh and Christian Old Testament), in which we look at similarities and differences in the ways in which Jews and Christians read these religious texts, with the goal of gaining a better understanding of both Judaism and Christianity. We also give special attention to the values of human dignity, social justice, and wellbeing (i.e., shalom, what is good for a person).
