The books of Mishlei (Proverbs) and Koheleth (Ecclesiastes) are filled with immortal one-liners.

Some examples: “The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked shall rot.” “Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace.” “Go to the ant, thou sluggard, consider her ways and be wise." "Stolen waters ar...

With understanding there can be acceptance; with acceptance we can see God in ourselves and in each other. The common human pursuit of meaning and transcendence has led to the creation of different faith traditions. This course will examine five religious world views: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism, to note both the similarities and differences. How do these religious traditions conceive of god(s) and world order, founders and saviors, religious experience, practice, and re...

The 150 poems that make up the Book of Psalms are both deeply familiar and deeply strange. Psalms are the backbone of the liturgy, but their language can be tangled and obscure. We’ll untangle the poetry of some of the most familiar psalms—using a variety of English translations—and trace their different settings and uses across the centuries and up to the present day.
