“The Bible, Genesis through Revelation” makes its debut at the University of San Diego! In 12 weeks, Dr. Creasy will take you on a journey through the entire Bible. This is a fabulous course, newly designed by Dr. Creasy. AND . . . you may receive continuing education credit through the University of San Diego for this course.
Although written over a period of 1,500 years by at least 44 different authors; passing through the hands of editors and redactors; and each book having its own more or less complex textual history, the Bible—as we have experienced it in western culture—has been read as a unity and influenced Western imagination as a unity: it has a beginning (Genesis) and an end (Revelation); it has a clear overarching structure, or narrative shape; its main character is God, its conflict is sin, its theme is redemption; and it has a set of concrete images that create textual cohesion: mountains, water, oil, bread, wine, and so on. Read as a unity, the Bible is the most influential book ever written. It has shaped men and women, nations and civilizations; indeed, history itself, for two millennia.
This is emphatically a survey course, a brief overview of the Bible starting with Genesis 1, and moving sequentially through Revelation 22, examining the major themes of the Bible and meeting its fascinating characters (heroes and villains, saints and sinners, rascals and rogues).
