If Jesus of Nazareth was merely a Galilean Jew executed by the Romans early in the first century, how did such significant belief and worship of him emerge after his death? This course introduces students to the ways that the earliest Christian documents, especially the New Testament, attest to the identity and significance of Jesus Christ. We will consider the first century context and emerging Jesus communities behind the New Testament, as well as the varying ways in which the New Testament conveys convictions and devotional practices about Jesus. In understanding and accounting for these convictions, our chief aim will be a deeper understanding and knowledge of the Jesus who had such immeasurable impact on both their world and ours.
2-3 credits.
