BBCL3601: Daniel and Revelation as Apocalypses
The books of Daniel in the Hebrew Bible and Revelation in the New Testament are the only apocalypses found in any western Bible. In this unit students will apply advanced methods in analysis of biblical texts (literary, thematic, linguistic, and text critical) in order to analyse these texts in the context of the most relevant extra-biblical apocalyptic texts, such as 1 Enoch, 4 Ezra and 2 Baruch.
