RELS 215 - Judaism and Christianity in the Ancient World

(3)
A comparative examination of the development of Judaism and Christianity, especially during the period between the establishment of Second Temple Judaism (c. 450 B.C.E) and the Council of Chalcedon (451 C.E), as expressed in a variety of primary documents in translation, both canonical and non-canonical. Our examination of these documents will be informed by contemporary methods of literary and historical criticism. See department chair.
