3.00 Credits
This course considers the image of the artist through an examination of contemporary biographies and modern films, ranging in subject from the Italian Renaissance to the present day. In this examination we will consider such questions as: what were the goals of contemporary biographers? Were these goals the same as modern biographers? How were these goals achieved in the past? How are they achieved in modern movies? Was, for example, Michelangelo the same kind of artist as Frida Kahlo? Our examination will have three parts: first, we will read a selection of an artist's biography; second, we will watch a film adaptation of the artist's life; and third, we will have sustained in-class discussions of the film and biography.

3.00 Credits
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.
