Understanding ancient Near Eastern art in the form of iconography is an essential part of grasping the conceptual world of the Bible. Literary imagery manifests in actual, physical images
through cylinder seal impressions, reliefs, paintings, etc. In a final research paper, the combination of methodological considerations, geographic and archaeological data, comparative literary analyses, and iconographic study will provide a comprehensive overview of your selected Old Testament book for purposes of preaching and/or teaching. The research paper is a demonstration of the student’s ability to engage with an Old Testament book using cognitive environmental criticism.
