Theological and Religious Studies Tripos, Part IIB

SUPPLEMENTARY REGULATIONS

(Statutes and Ordinances, p. 394)

With immediate effect

The Faculty Board of Divinity give notice that the detail for Paper C2 has been amended so as to read:

Paper C2. Poets, prophets, storytellers, and sages

This paper will be concerned with the history of the Old Testament period and with developments in its literature, theology, and religion, including, for those who wish, some study of Jewish literature up to circa AD 100. Particular attention will be given to such topics as literary studies of Genesis and the books of Samuel; the Exodus narrative; the development of law in Exodus 20-23, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy; Psalms, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes; prophecy to the end of the eighth century (especially Amos, Hosea, and Isaiah 1-39); Haggai, Zechariah, and Isaiah 56-66; the books of Chronicles and Ezra-Nehemiah; the Song of Songs; other ancient Near Eastern law, prophecy, and wisdom; and Ecclesiasticus, Tobit, and 2 Esdras. The Board may from time to time prescribe texts for special study.

The Faculty Board are satisfied that no student's preparation for the examination in 2006 will be adversely affected by this change.
