The Origins of Biblical Stories
The impact of the Old Testament on the development of Western thought is not in doubt, but its authorship is open to questions.

Fear Not, I Speak Shakespeare – Act VII
This class will take a closer look at a character we met in our last class; only this time he has a girlfriend, Antony and Cleopatra. We’ll also meet Shakespeare’s most verbose female character, Rosalind, when we study “As You Like It.” Don’t fret if you are new to the class – we’ll begin with an overview of Shakespeare’s meager biographic information and the Globe Theatre and iambic pentameter (so we’ll have a sense of how and where he was writing). If there is time in the term, we’ll also look at Venus and Adonis, Shakespeare’s best-selling long poem. The goal of the class is for you to learn how to enjoy the plays – whether you see them in a film or on a stage or in your imagination. If you’ve taken the class before and want to skip the introductory class of material you’ve already heard, I wouldn’t blame you. It is a great joy and honor for me to share the little I know about Shakespeare with you – and to learn more together! I look forward to having you join us!
