• W137884475 abstract "The Bible is infrequently taught in Western civilization courses in North American universities. The overwhelming number of university stu dents are biblically illiterate and, in most instances, their teachers seem not to be better informed than those whom they are instructing. Attempts to introduce the Bible and other Judaic material in general Western civi lization programs will engender opposition from many university faculty including Jewish academics who have chosen to reject what they often see as the confining world of a distinctive Jewish framework. There is also an uncritical appropriation of traditional Christian notions of the Old Tes tament. Academics have little trouble teaching the Iliad and the Odyssey, texts that represent oral and written traditions that have evolved and have been rewritten over a period of hundreds of years. Para doxically, when it comes to Bible and Talmud, these same people will not teach or familiarize themselves with these materials because they reject anonymous, divine, or divinely-inspired authorship. It is this bias that ignores the greatest text in Western civilization, the product of a rich 3,000-year-old oral/written tradition and civilization. An examination of curricula in North American universities would reveal that the Bible is infrequently taught, or read, in Western civi lization courses. With the exception of the very few students in Near Eastern programs and departments of Religion and Judaic Studies, the overwhelming number of university students are biblically illiterate and, in most instances, their teachers seem not to be better informed than those whom they are instructing. In the course of this purposefully discursive and general essay, it will first be argued that there is a need to separate and distinguish the Bible from New Testament study. It will be further indicated that the traditional reading of the Bible by biblical scholars has intro duced, intentionally or not, a persuasive bias in the reading and the interpretation of texts. As well, there is a general disinterest and igno rance of academics toward biblical material. Disciplinary over-spe cialization and narrow methodological concerns have moved teaching and research into an ever-increasing focus on minutae ? all of this coming at the expense of a generation of students who are being denied the opportunity to receive a general education in the study of Western society and culture. An overwhelming number of secular students in the Jewish Political Studies Review 1:3-4 (Fall 1989)" @default.
