A close reading of select Jewish writings composed between
the close of the Hebrew Bible (ca. 400 B.C.E.) and the
parallel rise of rabbinic Judaism and early Christianity
(ca. 100 C.E.). Readings will include the Old Testament
apocrypha, the Dead Sea Scrolls from Qumran, Philo and
Josephus. Attention will be given to the creativity of
