Religious Studies 315 - Seminar:Paul and His Opponents

Institution:

Hiram College

Subject:

Description:

Although more than half of the writings within the New Testament have been attributed to him and though he has been considered the founder of Christianity, Paul was-and still is-a controversial figure. Many ofhis Christian contemporaries loved Paul; however, perhaps just as many scorned and ridiculed him. In the present course we apply historical methods to his letters and to the Acts of the Apostles in order to establish an accurate portrait of this most intriguing person, to describe the course of his life, and to determine the content of his gospel in relationship to his Christian opponents. Prerequisite: Any 100 or 200-level religious studies course, or permission.
