Teach the Hebrew Bible in Philosophy Courses

Why isn't the biblical literature taught alongside other philosophies? By any objective criteria, it measures up to the Mesopotamians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. In Biblical Philosophy: A Hebraic Approach to the Old and New Testaments, I contend that the biblical literature should be treated as a philosophical tradition, and I show how the New Testament authors employed it as such. Scholars of Central and East Asian philosophy have recently argued for the need to diversify Anglo-American philosophy curricula beyond their Eurocentrism. Traditionally, the Greek title of the discipline - philosophia - also reflects the westerly direction of its curricula.
