THEO 230 - Prophets, Wisdom, and the End of Time

3 Credit Hours
How is it all going to end? Humans have always wrestled the problem of evil, why good people suffer, and when better days might be in view. This course looks at many of the texts in the Bible that engage these questions. Students get to learn about the authors, their historical and cultural background, and how their texts came to be so influential in ancient times, throughout history, and up to today. Texts covered will include Amos, Isaiah, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Book of the Watchers, Daniel, Job, Ecclesiastes, and Revelation, among others. 

This course will satisfy the core area requirement in theology.
