This unit examines the formation, content, background, storyline, main themes and literature of the Orthodox Old Testament canon to facilitate its faithful interpretation for and communication to diverse contemporary audiences. Students critically analyse the three worlds of the biblical text, developing an informed theory of interpretation and engaging with the patristic interpretation and contemporary perspectives and methodologies. Special focus is given to the cultivation of methods and skills for reading and communicating the various genres within this corpus.
