This course introduces students to the question “What is the Bible?” by exploring its nature, origins, and enduring significance. Lectures examine the Bible as a book—its historical formation, languages, and manuscripts—before moving beyond its physical form to consider how it functions as more than a book, shaping communities, traditions, and worldviews. Finally, students will encounter the Bible as a living text, one that continues to inspire interpretation, dialogue, and transformation across cultures and generations.
