Individuals from other denominations are welcome to audit these courses for $200 per course.
REL 122: New Testament as a Call for Defiance
Monday, Wednesday & Friday: 8-8:55 a.m.
The course introduces students to the compelling and counter-cultural traditions of the New Testament, unveiling their character as sacred testimony shaped to call early Christians to defy the values of the Roman elite and claim their allegiance to Jesus and the Kingdom. The course also equips students with the background and skills they need to explore the witness of these sacred texts in both their ancient and contemporary contexts.
REL 362: Interpreting Sacred Traditions
Monday: 4:30-7:30 p.m.
This course will introduce students to the theory and practice of biblical interpretation. While this course will focus on the interpretation of sacred texts in the Christian tradition, it will explore issues related to the use of sacred tradition in many religious communities, such as the inspiration and authority of both text and interpreters, the relationship between interpretation and historical context, and the use of critical interpretive methods.
Limited seats are available for each course; participants will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
