A discussion of recent trends in biblical scholarship and their influence on interpretations of a selected New Testament Book (one of the Gospels or a Pauline Letter). As we explore the relationship between the selected biblical text and the Roman Empire, we will add new perspectives to those already considered by traditional scholarship. By recognizing the impact of context upon our chosen text, this course will examine the inter-contextual relationship between the New Testament writings and their readers (contemporary as well as 1st century.)
Elective, 3 credits
