RELI 321 - Hermeneutics

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: EN 132 , RELI 210  Hermeneutics introduces the student to the fundamental categories of the theory of interpretation. In keeping with the historical trajectory of hermeneutics, its scope expands beyond questions about the rules for textual/biblical interpretation, towards the question of the nature of meaning and understanding as such. The course will engage a number of hermeneutical emphases including: the world behind the text (history, authorial intention, allegory), the world in the text (structuralism, narrative theory, poetics), and the world in front of the text (reader-response, community response, deconstruction, liberationist, feminist, queer, postcolonial).
