HIST 155 The Historical Jesus 4.0 Credits

In this course, students analyze translations of the New Testament, other early Christian writings, and Roman histories in the light of Jesus’s broader historical context of Jewish life under Roman occupation before the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple. In the process, students learn to think like an historian by examining evidence to make their own interpretations of who Jesus was, the nature of the movement he led, and what that movement meant to him.
