Registration for my course on The History of Israel’s United Monarchy closes on Friday, and the class begins on Monday. The time commitment is minimal (90 minutes a week), and the cost affordable ($189).
My goal is to deepen your understanding of the century or so when all twelve tribes were united under a single king. To do that, I’ll be drawing on archaeological discoveries, geographical insights, and extrabiblical sources to supplement what the Bible records.
My interest goes beyond decades of teaching a related course and leading “life of David” field studies around Israel to writing a (forthcoming) book and creating photo collections for 1-2 Samuel and 1-2 Kings. I’ll be bringing the best of everything to this homework-free course.
The class meets on six successive Mondays, from May 13 to June 17, from 8:00-9:30 pm (Eastern Time). Everyone who registers will receive the valuable course materials along with access to the lecture recordings.
The course is one of three offerings in the Jerusalem University College Online Summer Institute. The other two are: Edible Landscapes of the Biblical World, taught by Chandler Collins on Tuesdays, and Jesus the Galilean, taught by Wave Nunnally on Thursdays.
Registration closes on Friday.
