Wisdom Literature: Timeless Inquiries

A fall-term graduate course taught by Rabbi Laura Duhan-Kaplan at Vancouver School of Theology:

Biblical wisdom literature engages with a surprisingly modern set of concerns, including creation, ecology, feminine faces of God, sexuality, money, and responsibility. By learning and applying a variety of text-centred and reader-centred interpretive techniques, we will explore the lessons and questions of Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, and Ben Sirach.
