Both The Bible and myths are a major part of human literary heritage. From the story of creation in “Genesis” to the surreal and apocalyptic vision of the “Book of Revelation”, The Bible is not only great literature in itself but also the source of inspiration in later literature and in music, painting, film and other related arts. Mythology is also an integral part of our heritage and has been a profound source of inspiration for writers and other artists. This course will provide a close study of selected portions of the Old and New Testaments as well as of some basic myths from a variety of cultures to see what they contribute to our understanding of the human condition. Offered with an H or ACP level option. This course does not fulfill graduation requirements in English.
