Description
As with other sacred texts, the Christian new testament contains many different kinds of writing, some almost directly taken from liturgical services such as prayers, hymns, confessions of faith, sermons as well as historical accounts, commentaries, ethical exhortations, pastoral suggestions, and criticism. In this course, we will survey this Christian collection of scriptures with attention to structure, style, authorship and contexts: religious, historical, political and social. We will also examine the connection of these texts to doctrines, ritual, ethics, and social organization of the Christian communities.
