This course is a continuation of Old Testament 1 that covers the second half of the Old Testament, Job through Malachi. It focuses particularly on interpreting the poetic, wisdom, prophetic, and apocalyptic genres of the Old Testament, but it also provides an overview of canon formation and the contents of the Apocrypha. The class introduces students to the historical, cultural, literary, and theological dimensions of these books for the purpose of teaching and preaching them as Holy Scripture for the Church today.
