Prerequisites: HB 500 Intro to the Hebrew Bible or its equivalent

Course Description: This course is intended to help students in all Master’s programs

“act as responsible biblical interpreters critically informed by current historical, literary

and theological scholarship in the field of biblical studies.” As an exegetical course in

the area of Biblical Studies, the course is designed to help students “be fluent in biblical

interpretation . . . pay attention to interpretive concerns (e.g., historical context, literary

character, etc.) . . . [and] use the Bible with an awareness of scholarly understandings

as a resource for thinking about the issues and concerns of everyday life.” To this end,

the course will include an introduction to exegesis and the variety of methods utilized in

interpreting a biblical text (e.g., form criticism, rhetorical criticism, ideological criticism,

etc.), along with opportunities to practice these methods on a variety of texts from the

Hebrew Bible. Special attention will be given to the Book of Psalms and how these

ancient prayers inform our understandings of the Divine and faith. By the end of the

semester, students will be able to:

Employ

different exegetical methods when working with texts of

the Hebrew Bible.

Name

and briefly identify the different forms of psalms found in the

Psalter.

Identify

the socio-historical contexts and literary characteristics of

the Psalms of the Hebrew Bible.

Articulate

a theology of prayer that is informed by the theological

perspectives represented in the Psalms.

Write

an exegesis of a psalm utilizing at 3 different exegetical

methods.

Demonstrate

how the fruits from their exegesis of a biblical text

can be applied to different ministerial contexts.

Approach: This is an upper level seminar course; therefore, a foundational knowledge

of the Hebrew Bible will be assumed (i.e., historical/cultural background, literary

genres, etc.). The class “sessions” will entail both content (provided by the professor)

and class discussion. Class discussions will be open, honest, and respectful; all opinions

will be respected and derogatory language toward another person will not be tolerated.

[Behavior or attitudes that are disrespectful of another person, professor or student,

will result in significant lowering of the offender’s grade.] All participants will covenant

together to agree to disagree without hostility.

Netiquette: [Taken from the

PTS Student Handbook

Participants in the online discussions do not have available the same visual and auditory

clues as those in traditional classrooms for interpreting the tone and substance of

contributed comments. It is, therefore, especially important that the following

guidelines concerning appropriate “netiquette”—i.e., etiquette for written

communication shared via the internet—should be consistently observed. Individual

professors may have procedures regarding class etiquette which are specific to course

design and learning goals in addition to the following institutional standards. Students

should pay attention to each course syllabus for the particular as well as the general

standards. In all cases, how the standards are applied in any given course is at the

discretion of the instructor.

1. While in online discussion, statements of disagreement and alternate

understandings are welcomed, and even encouraged among participants,

disparaging personal

ad hominem

attacks cannot be permitted, even if purported

to be intended light-heartedly. Overt references or those by innuendo that

violate the seminary’s anti-discrimination policy will not be tolerated.

2. Rude, offensive, or abusive comments are entirely inappropriate. “Flaming”

(typing words in capitals) or an excessive use of exclamation marks must always

be avoided because they are widely understood to signal expressions of anger,

hostility, or disrespect.

3. Attempts to use humor, and especially sarcasm, to advance one’s position in

online discussions are most generally confusing and ineffectual. In addition, the

seeming innocence of jokes can be lost in transmission.

4. Participants should be attentive to maintaining a professional style of

communication. Posted contributions on discussion boards should be free of

misspelled words and other distracting technical errors. And as with written

papers, it is essential to properly cite sources.

5. There are different modes of communication for online classes, e.g. discussion

boards and chat rooms—formal and informal—where the standards may be

nuanced accordingly to fit the class situation. However, when communicating
