Course Description

“Each unhappy family,” Tolstoy famously wrote, “is unhappy in its own way,” and biblical families are no exception. From fratricide, through estrangement and all the way to various infidelities, the families of Tanakh fall apart and come together over many different fault line. Yet unique though they are, the stories of these families hide reccuring patterns, which in turn reframe the Hebrew Bible’s portrayal of continuity, covenant, and even truth.
