Studies the collection of Christian texts now called the “New Testament” for the insights they provide into the complex cultural interactions in the first-century Mediterranean world. Three primary texts, the Gospel of Mark, Paul’s letter to the Colossians, and Paul’s letter to James, will be examined in light of their original Jewish context and their embeddedness in Greek thought and Roman socio-political structures.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
