Calling out from the Depths: Jewish and Christian Interpretations of the Psalms
BTI Category
Semester
Scripture & Biblical Studies
SP24
For centuries, Jews and Christians have turned to the Book of Psalms in times of joy and thanksgiving, and in times of sadness and lament. However, there have been far fewer opportunities for members of these two communities and others to explore these ancient poetic texts together as fellow spiritual seekers. What do we share in common? Where do we differ? How might reading these sources with people with different religious or ideological commitments impact our relationship with the text?

Psalms and the Cult
BTI Category
Semester
Scripture & Biblical Studies
SP24
The Book of Psalms, sometimes called Israel's "Songbook," engages the world of religious practice, or cult, in a variety of ways. This is true, also, of other biblical poetic compositions outside of the Psalms. The present course investigates the problem of Psalms and the Cult from a number of perspectives by posing a variety of questions. To what extent does Israel's poetry reflect or take for granted specific cultic practices? Are such practices individual or communal? Were they connected with expert oversight? How might Psalms have been used during cultic practice? Were they liturgical or performative texts? How might the relationship between psalms and prophecy inform the discussion? Students will formulate answers to these and other questions by close reading of a selection of Psalms in Hebrew, and by engagement with secondary literature and material culture evidence. Three semesters of Biblical Hebrew or equivalent.

Africana and Womanist Hermeneutics
BTI Category
Semester
Scripture & Biblical Studies
SP24
This is a seminar-style, intensive course in which students critically read works of African American and Womanist biblical scholarship on the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, while critically engaging biblical passages and peers in discussions about approaches, contexts, implications, strengths and challenges. The course begins with the conviction that all knowledge is perspectival. That is, how we access and interpret texts has to do with a complex combination of factors, including ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and social-cultural history (just to name a few), that constitute who we are at one particular instance in time. In particular, the course seeks to understand the historic perspectives and approaches of African American and Womanist readings and appropriations of biblical texts as a way to build students' capacities to appreciate the interpretative strategies of others (especially historically marginalized and/or underrepresented groups) as well as to identify and articulate their own critical and socially-situated understandings of biblical passages and its implications.

This course prepares students to read the biblical text in a scholarly manner with an ecclesial spirit. Account is taken of modern scholarship, while reading the inspired text from the heart of the Church. Relevant Church documents are referenced. The nature of Hebrew poetry is investigated, with its eminent suitability asa theological medium. The literary, historical, and theological dimensions of the Old Testament are discussed through exegetical study of selected texts. In no way bypassing the literal and historical senses of the text, that the New Testament is "hidden in the Old" - that Christ is the "measure" of Scripture - is not overlooked. Emphasis is placed upon the theological, spiritual, and pastoral message of these life-giving texts. Since Scripture is the "soul of theology," a solid understanding of these texts will benefit preaching and catechesis.

The Parables of Jesus
BTI Category
Semester
Scripture & Biblical Studies
SP24
Though it is widely recognized that the parables play an important role in the NT and in the study of Jesus, nearly every aspect of the study of parables beyond this most basic of statements has been the subject of vigorous debate. Everything from the definition of a parable to the number of parables in the NT to the proper interpretation of parables to how parables relate to the study of the historical Jesus - all of these issues and more have been contested and disagreed upon by NT scholars. Thus, this course seeks to provide students with insight into the history of scholarship on parables and to provide students with the knowledge and tools both to understand the parables better and to interpret them.

Both Jewish elements in these patterns and their reformulation in second and third century Christianity (Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Valentinians and Origen) will be discussed. The final section of the seminar will discuss the use of these studies in Catholic systematics (Schillebeeckx, Gutierrez, Schussler-Fiorenza, Johnson and Benedict XVI).
