| Course Description: | ||||||
| This course examines some of the apocalyptic literature of the Bible, specifically the books of Daniel and Revelation, as well as non-biblical Jewish and Christian apocalyptic literature of the same periods. It explores a variety of ways of interpreting apocalyptic literature with special attention given to the meaning and significance of its mythical imagery and symbolism. It also examines the nature and function of apocalypticism as a worldview and as a theological response to universal and compelling questions such as the justice of God and the problem of evil.
