RELG 320 - Jesus And The Gospels

Credit(s): 3
The Gospels were written at different times and for different purposes. Although they make use of many of the same traditions, each Gospel presents a unique portrait of Jesus. This course introduces students to the canonical Gospels of the New Testament and many non-canonical Gospels as an avenue into the life and ministry of the historical Jesus. It examines methodologies used in studying the Gospels, their historical and cultural setting, and the unique portrait of Jesus provided by each of the Gospel writers, all of which serves as a basis for an introduction to the study of the historical Jesus.
