BVGT 340 Poetical Literature

This course will lead you through the Poetic books of the Old Testament. Reminding us of the fact that we are Christians, we read these books through the lens of the Gospel of Jesus. This means that we interpret these holy poetic texts through the eyes of  Jesus Christ, i.e., partly in a different way than for example a Jewish reading of the Old Testament poetic texts. Having said that, poecy is timeless and therefore everlasting new. Applying a poetic focus on the Old Testament lead the students into a more solid understanding of the holiness of the Bible.
