Description of Courses
REL 312: Old Testament Studies is actually a category of courses offered at Mars Hill College. The courses taught under the number REL 312 can cover any topic related to upper level studies in the Hebrew Scriptures. These topics vary from year to year; every time the course is offered, the topic is rotated.
Students are welcome to take REL 312 multiple times, and will receive the same full credit as if each course had a distinct course number.
Prerequisite: REL 111. Normally offered every other Fall.
Leningrad Codex Folio 40 verso, containing Exodus 15:14b–16:3a, the end of "the song of the sea." Note the masoretic notes in the shape of waves at page top, and the formal and special writing style for the end of the poem.
The Leningrad Codex aka Codex Leningradensis serves as the textual-basis for the most important printed edition of the Hebrew Scriptures, the Biblia Hebraica Stutgartensia, or BHS.
