BI309 ALL IN THE FAMILY (HOM) In Preaching, Fred Craddock writes that in the seminary to counter-influence the classroom lecture (“no model for the sermon”) “the homiletics student should read at least one (short story) a week, since the short story is the first cousin of the sermon.” In this course we will ready modern Catholic authors to see how they told their tales. Siwek S BI314 INSTITUTIONS OF ANCIENT ISRAEL Israel was not only a worshipping community; it had its social and political life. Foremost in Israel’s institutions were the family, the tribe and the nation; the monarchy; the sanctuaries, the temple with all Israel’s sacrifices and feasts. Without a good understanding of these, knowledge of the Old Testament is not possible. Akpunonu W BI316 SPEAKING WITH THE VOICE OF A PROPHET’S VOICE This course will study the message and style of specific prophetic texts and also practice applying both of these to contemporary life. Nagel F BI317 THE DEUTERONOMISTIC HISTORY (Josh, Judg, 1-2 Sam, 1-2 Kings) This course will practice reading texts from the section of the Old Testament which follows the Pentateuch, in particular, the book of Deuteronomy that shaped its theology and understanding of Israel’s life with God from the period of the taking of the land through the end of the monarchy. Nagel F BI319 BI320 EZEKIEL A study of the historical background, literary style and major themes of Ezekiel, with a view to applying his prophecy, which was delivered during the lowest point of Israel’s relationship with God, to contemporary experience. Akpunonu S HISTORY OF THE OLD TESTAMENT The word of God was not a temporal but incarnated in time. God acted in history and the inspired record of these historical events in the Bible. No text of the Scriptures can be properly understood unless its historical background is studied and appreciated. The bible begins with pre-history (Gen. 1-11), while the history of the OT began with Abraham (Gen. 11:27), and the history of Israel with the exodus. Deliverance from the Egyptian bondage, the Journey through the desert, the Conquest and partitioning of the Promised Land, the Monarchy, the Political and Religious Schism of Israel, under the Persians and the Greeks – these are some of the highlights of this moving and impressive history. Akpunonu F BI323 PSALMS (OT) (W/P) This class is a study of Hebrew poetic genres as contained in the Book of Psalms. Emphasis is on reading the Psalms in their historical and literary settings. Christian usage of the Psalms in the Liturgy is also examined. (2 hours) Akpunonu F 68
BI323P PSALMS (OT) (W/P) (PILGRIMAGE) This class is a study of Hebrew poetic genres as contained in the Book of Psalms. Emphasis is on reading the Psalms in their historical and literary settings. Christian usage of the Psalms in the Liturgy is also examined. (2 hours) Nagel W BI325 EVANGELIZATION AND CATECHESIS (SPI) This course begins with an examination of the directive documents for evangelization: Evangelii Nuntiandi (On Evangelization to the Modern World) by Pope Paul VI; Redemptoris Missio (On the permanent validity of the Church’s missionary mandate) by Pope John Paul II; and Go and Make Disciples from the USCCB. An examination of the directive documents for catechesis will focus on the USCCB documents National Directory for Catechesis and “In Support of Catechetical Ministry.” The focus for the course will be on the practical application at the parish level of the theories and directives of evangelization and catechesis. The course will also examine the theological, pastoral, psychological, and cultural issues to be considered when developing, delivering, and evaluating evangelization and catechetical programs and processes. This class is a Significant Pastoral Issues Elective. (PL375) Wiskus S BI331 BI339 BI348 WISDOM LITERATURE This course examines the growth of the wisdom literature in the Ancient Near East, with emphasis upon its appearance and literature in Israel. The wisdom tradition was part of the common cultural inheritance of the areas, and the Hebraic wisdom cannot be considered apart from its Mesopotamian and Egyptian counterparts. The influence of wisdom thought and motifs within the New Testament are also examined. The course concludes with a brief look at the wisdom traditions of the Far East, in particular that of Buddhism, and the possibilities of a “wisdom bridge” as a basis of dialogue between Christianity and Far Eastern religions. Schoenstene S JEREMIAH (P) Among the writing prophets of the Old Testament, Jeremiah ranks next in importance after Isaiah. Called to the prophetic ministry in the 13 th year of Josiah, he worked relentlessly to save his people and nation from a pending and sure calamity. Jeremiah witnessed the end of the kingdom of Judah, the destruction of Jerusalem and of the temple. He suffered enormously for the welfare of his people. Akpunonu F THE BOOK OF EXODUS Though Yahweh promised Abraham innumerable offspring and the Land, the promise was not fulfilled in his days. His descendants migrated into Egypt, grew in number, were oppressed and finally liberated. The Exodus was the constitution of Israelites as a people and Yahweh’s promise was fulfilled when he led them out and gave them the Land. Yahweh made a covenant with them in preparation for the new and everlasting covenant. The Promised Land was a sign and a guarantee of the Heavenly Jerusalem. Akpunonu W 69
