AS 130.241: Introduction to Christianity in Late Antiquity
3.00 Credits
Johns Hopkins University
In the first century CE, a century of crisis and change, a Jew named Jesus was born, and with him Christianity. In this course we will discuss the development of Christianity in late antiquity, its historical background and its later influences. We will survey the main texts which are the foundation of this new religion, starting from sectarian literature, through the New Testament and ending with patristic literature. Using the main Christian dogmas as test cases, we will get acquainted with the main writers and literary sources of late antiquity, and discuss some of the arguments and agreements between Jews, Christians and Pagans of the era. We will seek to reveal the different sources of Christianity, Judaism on the one hand, and Greek and Latin cultures on the other, and try to understand the processes which led the early Christians to separate themselves from their Jewish origin and become an independent religion.

AS 130.320: A Good Scribe & Learned Man: Wisdom & Knowledge in Ancient Egypt
3.00 Credits

Already in Antiquity, the Egyptians had a reputation for wisdom and "secret" knowledge. But what was the reality behind this reputation? Who was a "wise man" or "wise woman" in Egypt? How did they organize and teach scientific ideas and concepts? How did they compose, maintain, and transmit the "books" containing their canon of knowledge? From the abundant ethical, scientific, literary, magical, and religious writings of the Egyptians we will attempt to understand what wisdom and knowledge meant to the Ancient Egyptians.
