FYSP 038 - From Creation to Apocalypse


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4HU, WINT

This course examines how the biblical account of creation in the Book of Genesis has shaped Jewish and Christian understandings of both the world’s beginning and the end of time. What do these stories say about the human condition and divine justice? Why did utopian visions of Eden attract ancient interpreters, and why do they still attract us today? Why does the attempt to combat evil lead some to apocalyptic violence and others messianic hope?

Enrollment Limit: 14
Instructor: Prof. Barer
