Content

In the first semester, we will look at why the prophets are the conscience of Israel, the two main issues that they had to tackle, present the outline of each book and read texts. In the second, we will begin by studying the psalms. We will first explain how to read them and then read a few psalms together. Then we will examine wisdom’s dilemma and study Proverbs, Job, Qohelet, Ben Sira, and Wisdom.
