Theology courses numbered 221-229 are reserved for students on the new core curriculum. If this section of the class appears to have very few seats, it is because the rest of the seats in the classroom will be occupied by students on the “old core.” This section will involve students in an examination of biblical prophetic activity and prophetic texts within their ancient Near Eastern context. Biblical texts will include both narratives about the prophets, and collections of oracles in the prophetic books. The course includes an examination of the nature and function of prophetic activity from a cross-cultural perspective, the historical background of the prophets, as well as the literary forms and Israelite traditions utilized in the oracles. It will be seen that this background is essential to any discussion of the theology of the prophets.
