ABSTRACT:
(5pp). The literature of the Hebrew Bible (the
Old Testament), is the scripture that Jews and
Christians share. This literature can be examined
both in the historical context in which it was
written and in some of the contexts in which it
has been read (such as its religious, literary,
psychological overtones). These biblical ideas that
have had a profound impact on Western culture:
creation, covenant, commandment, monotheism,
idolatry, chosenness, history, kingship, sin,
prophecy, wisdom. Ancient Greek literature such
as Sophocles' Antigone also addresses some of these
same ideas, morality and justice being two of the
most important. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
