CLAS050
- Jesus and History/First-Year Seminar
Studies the many aspects of the “historical Jesus” issue. What can be known with certainty about Jesus of Nazareth? What do we know with reasonable historical confidence? How does one evaluate, as a historian, ancient texts (the canonical and noncanonical Gospels, among others), which supply inconsistent accounts and which make religious claims not subject to historical analysis? The course also focuses on the historical context of Jesus, as a first-century Palestinian Jew under Roman authority. Open to first-year students only. Fulfills the Historial Perspective requirement.
