Hebrew Bible Lit: Psalms

Instructor: Amy Erickson, Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible

Draft Syllabus

Readings: Most of the readings will come from the The Oxford Handbook of the Psalms . Edited by William P. Brown. The entire volume is available through the Iliff library’s suite of on-line resources (Oxford Handbooks Online Religion). You will be able to find the majority of the articles I’ve assigned through EBSCOHost. If I know they’re not available electronically through the Iliff databases, I will post PDFs. And of course, if you have any trouble finding something, email me or one of the helpful librarians.
