\u2018The light therefore that must guide us in this question, must be that which is held out unto us from the Bookes themselves: And this light, though it show us not the writer of every book, yet it is not unusefull to give us knowledge of the time, wherein they were written.\u2019 (Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan<\/em> [1651]).<\/p>\n

Course Description<\/h3>\n

Modern biblical criticism derives in large part from early attempts to resolve the numerous compositional and structural anomalies and discrepancies found in the Mosaic Pentateuch or \u2018Five Books of Moses\u2019; i.e., the \u2018five books\u2019 of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.\u00a0We will sample the diverse genres of literature contained within the Torah, seek out and study the alleged anomalies and discrepancies, and thereby acquire an appreciation for the productive methods used in the modern critical study of the Bible.\u00a0 This project necessitates a close reading of the entire Torah, with our primary emphasis laid upon acquiring a nuanced understanding of the meaning of the constituent texts and their contents within their historical, social, and literary contexts.<\/p>\n

Texts<\/h3>\n

There is one fundamental text required for this course\u2014that of the Hebrew Bible itself in a suitable English translation.\u00a0While many students already own Bibles or at least have access to public copies in the library, very few undergraduates realize that certain popular translations are outdated and\/or are of substandard quality. Moreover, most of the popular and\/or liturgical editions possess little (if any) competent annotation and cross-referencing.\u00a0Therefore, in order to complete the assignments for this course, the following text is required:<\/p>\n

Tanakh, The Holy Scriptures: The New JPS Translation According to the Traditional Hebrew Text<\/em> (Philadelphia & Jerusalem: The Jewish Publication Society, 1985).<\/p>\n

Occasionally, supplementary readings may be assigned or distributed by the instructor as needed.<\/p>\n

Course Requirements<\/h3>\n

a. Homework exercises<\/em>.\u00a0 An indeterminate number of written exercises (at least three or four per week; optimally one per day) will be prepared and submitted for in-class discussion and out-of-class evaluation. These exercises vary in length from less than one (1) to a maximum of three (3) typewritten or electronically printed pages. All of these exercises will be announced and explained by the instructor during the course of or at the conclusion of a class meeting. The instructor\u2019s evaluation of the student\u2019s collective written exercise performance (based on the scale \u221a+ = A-; \u221a = C+; \u221a- = D) will comprise 50% of the course grade.<\/p>\n

b. Final Examination<\/em>. One (1) written final examination, consisting of one or more essays, comprising 25% of the course grade.\u00a0The exam will occur in class during the final class meeting.\u00a0This exam is subjective in format, comprehensive in content, and will draw equally upon assigned readings and class discussion for its content.<\/p>\n

c. Individual involvement<\/em>.\u00a0Almost perfect attendance (see below) is an essential requirement for this course.\u00a0Each class meeting builds upon the knowledge gained during previous meetings.\u00a0Moreover, in-class discussion and analysis comprise a significant portion of every class meeting.\u00a0Preparation for every class usually involves the completion of a series of assigned readings and\/or written assignment(s).\u00a0Students are expected to contribute in an informed manner to the public analysis and discussion of any assigned topic, and the instructor reserves the right to administer occasional unannounced \u2018pop-quizzes\u2019 should he deem the situation so warrants. The instructor\u2019s assessment of one\u2019s attendance, apparent class preparation, oral contributions, and performance on pop-quizzes will constitute 25% of the final course grade.<\/p>\n

d. Zakhor<\/em> (Remember!): Mastery of the assigned readings and diligent class attendance are necessary prerequisites for the successful completion of this course.\u00a0 Each student is responsible for all lectures, class discussions, assignments, and announcements, whether or not he\/she is present when they occur.<\/p>\n

Miscellaneous Information<\/h3>\n

a. The grading scale used in this course is as follows:<\/p>\n

91-100\u00a0\u00a0 A\u00a0\u00a0 =\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 demonstrable mastery of material; can creatively synthesize<\/p>\n

81-90\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 B\u00a0\u00a0 =\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 some demonstrable proficiency in control of material & analysis<\/p>\n

71-80\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 C\u00a0\u00a0 =\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 satisfactory performance of assignments; little or no analysis<\/p>\n

61-70\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 D\u00a0\u00a0 =\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 inadequate and\/or faulty understanding of material<\/p>\n

0-60\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 F\u00a0\u00a0 =\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 unacceptable work<\/p>\n

b. One of the requirements of this course is to complete the work of the course on time.\u00a0 Sometimes there are legitimate reasons for late work\u2014an illness or other emergency.\u00a0 \u2018Emergency,\u2019 however, does not include your social involvements, travel plans, job schedule, disk and\/or printer failures, the state of your love life, your obligations to other courses, or general malaise over the state of the world. The world has been in a mess as long as anyone can remember, and most of the world\u2019s work is done by people whose lives are a mass of futility and discontent. If you haven\u2019t learned yet, you had better learn now to work under the conditions of the world as it is. Therefore<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

1) All missed quizzes, unwritten reports, and neglected homework exercises will be averaged as a 0 in the computation of the course grade. There is no such thing as a \u2018make-up pop quiz.\u2019\u00a0No exceptions will be considered or granted.<\/p>\n

2) All papers and written exercises are due on the dates scheduled in the syllabus, or on the date announced by the instructor in class (usually, the following class meeting). \u2018Late\u2019 submissions of reports (not homework exercises\u2014see below) bear the following penalties: one day late\/one letter grade; two days late\/two letter grades; three or more days late\/F.\u00a0 Please note: these \u2018days\u2019 are calendar days, not class meeting days. For accounting purposes, letter grades bear the following values: A=95; A-=92; B=85; C+=78; C=75; D=65; F=30. An untyped submission automatically receives the grade F, as do those typed papers which violate the required parameters or which the instructor deems physically unacceptable and\/or grammatically incomprehensible.<\/p>\n

3) Homework exercises are due on the date announced by the instructor in class. Since we will normally discuss these exercises together in class on that date, it would clearly be unfair to those who submitted their work on time for me to accept \u2018late\u2019 work from those privy to our in-class discussion.\u00a0Hence I will not accept \u2018late\u2019 homework submissions; however, \u2018early\u2019 submissions are always welcome and will receive full credit.<\/p>\n

4) Attendance at class meetings will be monitored by the instructor. One or two absences, while regrettable, are unexceptional; three (3) is the limit of tolerability. Each successive absence lowers the Individual Involvement component of your assessment by one letter grade; seven (7) or more earns an automatic F in that component. Please note that the instructor does not distinguish \u2018excused\u2019 from \u2018unexcused\u2019 absences. Unsanctioned late arrivals and early departures will be tallied as absences.<\/p>\n

c. Assistance and solicitation of criticism is your right as a member of the class. It is not a privilege to be granted or withheld. Do not hesitate to request it nor wait too late in the course for it to be of help.<\/p>\n

Supplemental Bibliography for\u00a0RELS 3000 Pentateuch\/Torah<\/h3>\n

In response to student requests for recommendations regarding useful and enlightening discussions of certain topics, themes, and personalities that are presented in class and\/or readings, I offer the following suggestions for further study at the student\u2019s leisure. I confine myself to materials which I myself have used with profit and which are currently available at Atkins Library.<\/p>\n

It is often helpful for the student to begin with appropriate articles in the standard Bible dictionaries.\u00a0 The latest and best is The Anchor Bible Dictionary<\/em> (6 vols.; New York: Doubleday, 1992).\u00a0Also reliable are The Interpreters\u2019 Dictionary of the Bible<\/em> (4 vols.) and its Supplementary Volume<\/em> (ed.
