THEO 157 - Who Is Jesus?

Institution:

King's College - Pennsylvania

Subject:

Theology

Description:

This course explores the many answers to the question Jesus asks his disciples: "Who do you say that I am?" Christians call Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, the King, and the Savior of the World, among many other titles. Jesus is also a figure of enduring fascination in cultural history. To gain a fuller theological understanding of Jesus, students will study such topics as first-century Messianic expectations, New Testament depictions of Jesus, theological understandings of the Son of God, Jesus as both fully divine and fully human, soteriological explanations and arguments about how Jesus saves, and the quest for the historical Jesus. The course will also explore modern questions about Jesus, from liberation or feminist theological perspectives, to other religious perspectives.
