Literature and Bible: Do you know German literature? Have you read the German Bible? Do you have a favorite piece of literature?
In this course, we will read biblical texts and literary works together and discuss the symbols, metaphors, and allegories that appear in the text. For example, if one is not familiar with "wine" as a religious symbol, literary texts cannot be properly understood. The goal of this course is to understand literary expressions as well as vocabulary and to analyze and interpret literary texts from a scholarly perspective.
