Description
Historians have long attempted to peer behind the confessional and theological portraits of Jesus in the New Testament in order to reconstruct the life and historical significance of the person, Jesus of Nazareth. This course examines understandings of Jesus in the witness of the New Testament writers, in the church's teaching and worship, in 19th- and 20th-century historical scholarship, and in popular American culture. Prerequisite: NT1210-NT1213 Synoptic Gospels (one full course).
