Annotation -
The course is based on the way Israel considered at different times about its history how much it is captured in the books of Scripture enriched with other information sources. It is a specific action and dialogue of a unique human culture with God that leads the people, has given him his promises, covenant, and sends prophets, kings, leaders and other characters to remind him of the uniqueness of Israel and later of Judas. From the point of view of the composition of biblical books, it is primarily two larger units, namely Deuteronomist history (Joz, Sd, 1 and 2 Sam, 1 and 2 King) and so-called Chronist history (1 and 2 Chron, Ezd, Neh); there are several minor didactic-pareinetic stories (Ruth, Tob, Jdt, Est) and a historiographical work from the Seleucus period (1 and 2 Mak). Introductory passages focused on the origins, literary and theological aspects of individual books alternate with examples of exegesis of specific texts.
