Courses – Spring 2025 / Literature / OLD TESTAMENT AS LITERATURE AND IN THE ARTS
Coordinators: Joyce Hinote, Peter Dichter, Jamie Sykes
The Old Testament is a great religious work but it also contains many wonderful stories that have influenced our literature and fine arts down through the centuries.
We will explore these stories as literature as well as how they have been interpreted by visual artists, composers, poets and fiction writers.
