Course Schedule – Fall 2024 / 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.
