This module is intended for students in the final year of their undergraduate degree. It provides a detailed and in-depth analysis of biblical texts within their Ancient Near Eastern (ANE) and Graeco-Roman contexts. In addition, it will examine how the Bible has been interpreted within different contexts throughout history, e.g. in the Septuagint and early Christian fathers, focusing on African receptions and interpretations. It is also a core module for those majoring in Biblical Studies. The module consolidates the academic competencies and skills acquired at levels one and two of undergraduate studies. This year, the module will focus on the Genesis 1–3 text.
