The Gospels and the Letters of Paul, Eastern Christian Linguistic Version

This course explores, in depth, early interpretations of Jesus, examines the synoptic problems, provides insights into the history and theology of the Johannine movement, and examines the context and thinking of Paul and the Pauline congregations. Emphasis is placed on the texts’ social context and literary structure, as well as their various theological tendencies. Issues concerning the historical person of Jesus are given special attention.

By the end of the course, the student is expected to:

  • show knowledge of the contents and theology of the Gospels and Pauline letters, from both a historical and literary perspective
  • be aware of and be able to critically discuss important issues concerning the texts ‘literary dependencies and historical source value, and reflect on the texts’ theological contribution and relevance
  • demonstrate knowledge of the texts’ social and cultural contexts, and be able to critically discuss the most important issues that the texts raise
  • demonstrate the ability to read and interpret New Testament text, and present and discuss one’s own textual interpretation in writing.
