The Historical Jesus and the Aftermath
GENINT 721.679
Osher (50+). In this course, we discuss the historical Jesus and the institutions and theology that emerged after his life.
About this course:
No figure in Western history has been given more print, scholarship, or speculation than the person called Jesus. In this course, we explore who or what Jesus was—a Jewish revolutionary, a divine spiritual man, an unlucky artisan, a mythical figure—or perhaps something else altogether. We also examine the consequences that followed his life—the Church, Christianity and Christology and whether they truly reflect the man. This course is not just a synthesis of what the scholars say, but an investigation that the class takes on in this interactive discussion group. This course uses the Hybrid format which allows students to participate remotely and/or in the classroom.Contact Us
