CLAS 171 - Ancient Iraq & Bible Lands

3 Credit Hours
The purpose of this course, one which should be key for an institution such as Xavier, is to explore the integrated histories of the lands of the Bible. Students will read, hear, speak, and write about the history of the early civilizations which jockeyed for power and control of the two great commercial-military prizes: ports on the Mediterranean and control of the Tigris-Euphrates catchments.
