RLG 206 - New Testament and Early Christianity (3 Cr.)

(LER-TXT)
This course will survey the text of the New Testament and the first three centuries of Christian history. Students will study the books of the New Testament with an eye to historical/critical methods of study and interpretation. In addition to close readings of the texts to explore the theology espoused within them, we will examine the Jewish roots of Christianity, non-biblical texts written during the same period and the cultural, political and religious Influences that lead to the beginning and growth of the Christian religion. No prior knowledge of the New Testament is needed. Fall 2015 and alternate years thereafter. Duncan.
