[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I assume we do the Christian Bible too (with Apocrypha, not just Torah/Mishnah, of course). Wouldn't want to skip any books because otherwise you'd miss allusions from Ruth to Revelation as you watch NCIS. [/quote] not sure if you’re being sarcastic - but yes, some study of Biblical motifs would definitely be part of a great English curriculum. And of course this ties right into broadening the canon, since so many slavery narratives, hymns, etc, draw on Biblical motifs. It would actually be a fantastic lens to build a class around the connections between African American lit and the traditional canon. [/quote] Speaking as an atheist, we should study the bible for its literary value. It is so influential in society that we need to understand the cultural background of the people around us.[/quote]
