This course introduces students to New Testament literature and thought in light of the historical, literary, and religious multiculturalism of the ancient Mediterranean world.

We will also attend to the politics of canonization and decanonization, the production of Jewish-Christian difference, and the role of women in early Christian communities. No prerequisite. Offered every other year alternating with Early Christianity (Religious Studies 122). (4 credits).
