Course Catalog Description:
Who was Jesus? While there has been some basic consistency in the depictions of Jesus throughout history, there has also been lots of variety. We will look at the stories and writings of the New Testament. We will look at ancient and medieval art and music. We will look at modern literature, film, and music. We will learn about how cultures and social groups from around the world have portrayed Jesus in their own contexts and for their own purposes. Students will leave the course with a sense of the diversity of depictions of Jesus and how this diversity correlates with the peoples that portray him and with the cultural and historical moments in which he is portrayed. Come and grapple with the question of who Jesus really was for ancient peoples and who he is for many today. Intended as a course of interest to undergraduates in all colleges of the TC campus. Students of any, all, or no religious background are welcome.
Class Description:
Who was Jesus? And what would Jesus do? While there has been some basic consistency in the depictions of Jesus throughout history, there has also been lots of variety. We will explore a whole host of portraits of Jesus at different points in history - not only the varying ways that Jesus has been thought of, but the relationship between these portraits and the historical and cultural contexts in which they were created. We will look at literature, art, film, and other modern media and gain an appreciation of how and why diverse communities offer different representations of Jesus's race, gender, sexual orientation, and politics. Students of any, all, or no religious background are welcome
