In this class, we will look at some stories from the wilderness wanderings, as they are recorded in the Books of Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The stories I will focus on are told in at least two, but often three books. We will survey these separate accounts to observe similarities and differences between our sources. I am calling this a synoptic synopsis, by which I mean to utilize the alliteration and make the point that I intend to give a summary of similar stories viewed together.
