Description: Examination of the texts of the New Testament, as well as other ancient sources, in an attempt to reconstruct a picture of Christianity in its beginnings. We will study the New Testament and the early Jesus movement within the wider context of Second Temple Judaism and the Greco-Roman world. Issues such as the development of the canon, the divisions with the Jesus Movement between Jews and Gentiles, the different understandings of the figure of Jesus, the conflicts which shaped the institutional development of the early church, and the conflict between Rome and the early church will receive particular attention and analysis. We will approach the texts of the New Testament as we would any other texts in antiquity, namely from an historical perspective. Students will be exposed to the traditional tools of biblical scholarship. No previous knowledge of the New Testament or of early Christianity is assumed.
Offered: Fall Spring Summer
