This course examines the place of the New Testament within the cultural, literary, and religious contexts of the first century and explores the ways that these scriptures speak to individuals and communities of faith today. We will critically examine different approaches to interpretation; address issues related to gender, race, ethnicity, and social location; and engage overarching theological issues such as Christology, eschatology, wealth and possessions, and the authority of scripture.
Required for all programs, 3 credits
