KUDOS TO HARVARD for providing a good liberal arts course on the Hebrew Bible and Greek Culture. Responding to a critical article in the Atlantic Monthly, Harvard Senior David Weinfeld writes in the Crimson:

Douthat writes of the wonder he had as a freshman poring over the course catalogue. What he fails to realize is that there are tons of great courses out there�even in the core�but students are simply not taking them. This fall, I took Literature and Arts A-53: �Athens and Jerusalem� as an elective. Eight other undergraduates took the class with me. We rigorously compared the Hebrew Bible to Ancient Greek literature in one of the more enjoyable academic experiences of my Harvard career.

It's too bad that more students didn't take it.
