RST 310 - The Historical Jesus

Institution:

Doane University

Subject:

Description:

Beginning with historical critical study of the Bible in the 18th century enlightenment, scholars of the New Testament and early Christian literature have sought to separate the historical figure of Jesus from the image of Jesus within the early church. This course traces the various quests for the historical Jesus based on New Testament writings and other related literature. Upon successful completion of the course, students will: 1) have an understanding of the New Testament and early Christian literature as it pertains to the historical Jesus; 2) have an understanding of basic interpretive methods used to reconstruct the historical Jesus; and 3) be able to engage fundamental issues in the form of a presentation and research project. Offered alternate spring terms.
