Institution:

CUNY Bernard M Baruch College

Subject:

Description:

3 hours; 3 credits As with other sacred texts, the Christian New Testament contains many different kinds of writing, some almost directly taken from liturgical services such as prayers, hymns, confessions of faith, and sermons, as well as historical accounts, commentaries, ethical exhortations, pastoral suggestions, and criticism. The course surveys this Christian collection of scriptures with attention to structure, style, authorship, and contexts: religious, historical, political, and social. We will also examine the connection of these texts to doctrines, ritual, ethics, and social organization of the Christian communities. Prerequisite: ENG 2150.
