Description:

This seminar is an exploration of recent scholarship on the problem of the historical Jesus - the attempt to distinguish the historical figure of Jesus from the theological portraits of him in early Christian literature.

Each student will report to the class on a recent work on Jesus. Religion 202 is a useful prior course, but not a prerequisite.
