Middle Eastern Studies 303 - Israel Through the Ages

Located at the junction of three continents, the Land of Israel has historically been a crossroads for conquerors, peoples, trade, and ideas, as well as a transition zone for technological innovation and new religions. This course offers a panoramic exploration of that land from pre-historic times until the founding of the State of Israel in 1948, stressing the links between the territory, its peoples, and its exiles around the world.
