Lectures of Jan Haluska
In February 2014, just months before his retirement, English Department professor
and chair Jan Haluska, PhD, recorded some of his lectures in the course Ancient Classics
(ELIT 445). This course included a six-part section on The Book of Job. Ancient Classics
gave Haluska time and space to compare the Old Testament with other written works
(Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey, for example) while defending Scripture's superiority
not only from a theological standpoint, but also as a highly complex narrative.
Haluska graduated from San Rafael Military Academy, served three years in Germany with the United States Army, and was a founding member of the Desmond Doss American Legion Post 257. His great passion was teaching; after seven years at Georgia-Cumberland Academy in Calhoun, Georgia, he completed his PhD in English from the University of Tennessee and taught at Southern for 33 years. Haluska passed away September 25, 2015, at the age of 73.
Gifts in his honor may be directed to the Jan Haluska Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund.
