Theology 256 - Historical Knowledge:Problems in Ancient Judaism and Christianity

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

Jewish Studies For more than two centuries, the study of Judaism and the study of Christianity have been revolutionized by attempts to understand those religions in historical terms. During that period, history has been portrayed as both the friend and the enemy of religious insight. Profound controversies regarding the aims and methods of historical knowledge have also characterized discussion since the Enlightenment. The purpose of this course, which convenes during a weekly seminar and also during a conference over several days, is to enable students to develop approaches to historical study that they believe are viable.
