Religion 230 - Jesus

"Who do you say that I am"? This question, which Jesus reportedly posed to his disciples, has remained compelling to generations of his followers as well as their detractors, and continues to challenge views of Christianity’s Christ to this day. This course examines some of the most prominent texts, images and films that have informed understandings of Jesus over the past two millennia and have contributed to making Jesus one of the most well-known yet enigmatic and controversial figures in history. Open to first-year students. Enrollment limited to 25.
