| Abstract: | This course is designed as an in-depth study of the formation of the New Testament and its related
literature, and of their role in early Christianity. The course title, “Introduction to the New Testament and
Early Christianity,” is descriptive of the content of the course, which will concentrate on four things: 1) the
Greco-Roman pagan and Jewish backgrounds within which Christianity arose and with which it eventually
struggled and broke; 2) the possibility of knowing anything about an “historical” Jesus; 3) the development
of the distinct religion known as “Christianity” from its sectarian origins and the varieties of early
Christianity; and 4) the sacred literature, both canonical and extra-canonical, produced within this
framework, and the very diverse Christians to whom it appealed |
