ARH 418 - Jesus Through The Ages: Ideas and Images Toward A Coherent Christian Identity and Ethic

Institution:

Creighton University

Subject:

Art History

Description:

Employing methods of the fine and performing arts and theology (historical and sytematic), this course will seek the "real" Jesus amidst a plethora of images and ideas used by Christians throughout the ages to depict Jesus Christ. It will critique the historical-cultural dependencies of these images and ideas to discern which of them, if any, remain normative for Christianity, which are time-bound, which still speak powerfully, which do not--and why. In the process this course will not only inform students about the single most significant figure in human history but engage them in a personal search for an authentic Christian identity and ethic. P: Sr. stdg. and PHL 250 or JPS/THL 250.
