BIBL 335: Early Judaism & New Testament
3.00 Credits
Eastern University
Jesus and his earliest followers lived and died as Jews. What came to be known as Christianity did not begin as an autonomous new religion, but rather as a movement within early Judaism. For this reason the earliest documentary remains of this movement preserved in the New Testament should be studied in the first instance as Jewish texts. This course introduces the literature, groups, beliefs and practices that comprised Second Temple Judaism. It will selectively illustrate how knowledge of early Judaism enlightens our understanding of the ministry of Jesus and the writings of the New Testament.

BIBL 345: Politics and the Bible
3.00 Credits
Eastern University
This course examines the politics of the Bible through a study of the empires that shaped the worlds of the OT and NT and the dynamics of life under empire for Jews and Christians. The course focuses primarily(but not exclusively) on an in-depth study of the Greco-Roman and Jewish political contexts of the first-century CE. It also analyzes the explicit and implicit political statements of the New Testament, from the Gospels' claims about Jesus' identity to Pauline and Johnnine passages addressing the relationship of Christians to the government. The course utilizes a broad range of scholarly approaches to the text, allowing students to explore both ancient and contemporary understandings of "the politics of the Bible."

BIBL 355: Film and the Bible
3.00 Credits
Eastern University
In this course, we will introduce the study of the Bible's reception history and the complicated relationship of reception history to traditional historical-critical methods of biblical study. More specifically, we will analyze cinematic retellings and appropriations of biblical stores as a significant avenue of the Bible's reception in modern culture. We will learn that the interface between the Bible and culture- like all biblical interpretation- is shaped by the interpreter's social and historical context, ideology, and medium. This course will also cover the basics of film criticism as the most appropriate tools for analyzing the audio-visual language into which these films translate the Bible. Finally, we will consider how our cultural influences the ongoing transmission of the biblical tradition and vice versa.

We will see how the Gospels present Jesus similarly and differently, notice main themes in the canonical presentation of Jesus, attend to post-biblical appropriations of Jesus (e.g., political, cultural, scholarly, literary and cinematic appropriations), and think together about how Jesus can and ought to shape Christian faith and faithfulness.
