Abstract

The following article describes an alternative undergraduate introduction to the Bible course which uses six biblical selections in tandem with six readings from modern literature. Besides being an introduction to various forms of literary criticism, this format makes the biblical ideas more obviously relevant and invites students to theologize personally. Eventually the course becomes a biblical anthropology.
