Previously called, "In Search of Balance."

The Hebrew Bible is the foundational text of Judaism and Christianity. The question remains, however, who wrote it and why was it written? How does the authorship of the text inform the way we adhere to its teachings? The Hebrew Bible, and in particular, the Torah (Pentateuch) contains a rich diversity or sources that teach us a lot about ideology, literary expression, social and political circumstances, and theology (our relationship with the Divine). Over the course of our studies, we will look at select passages from the Torah and Hebrew Bible in Hebrew and English, explore parallel texts from other ancient Near Eastern religions/cultures, and wrestle with what our personal and communal relationship was, is, and can be with this sacred text.
