RS 210 RU - Jesus & the Gospels

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

What about Jesus? Who was he? Who is he? We cannot attend to these questions without a close reading of early Christian literature. This course examines the Gospels and selected documents created by the earliest Christians through lenses drawn from historical, theological, and narrative methodologies. After examining one of the Gospels in detail, we engage a selection of Jesus’ moral and ethical teachings and the impacts the Jesus event had on the literary world of early Christianity. Rather than definitive answers, however, we seek relevant questions. We discover the power these documents have to draw us deeply into their world and to see our own with more clarity and precision.

Offered Fall, Spring

Course Fee: No
Prerequisite(s): COR 1 or COR 199   or permission of the instructor
