THE 407 - Theology and Controversy in the Letters of Paul- hrs

Institution:

University of Portland

Subject:

Description:

Within twenty five years of Jesus' death, Christianity had spread throughout the Roman Empire. A Jewish convert, Paul of Tarsus (St. Paul), was responsible for founding many of these new churches. Serving as both missionary and theologian, he articulated for the first time many of Christianity's basic beliefs and presided over some of Christianity's earliest theological controversies. In his wake, Paul left behind a series of letters to his churches. In this course we will examine his letters as a way of gaining access to the concerns, the theology, and the growing pains of some of the very first Christians on record.
