Portraits of Jesus in the N.T

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

While the New Testament, in general, affirms that "there is one Lord," its writers have left us several different pictures of Jesus. This course will consider how various New Testament authors have nuanced their images of Jesus to present him as the Christ to Christian communities of their day. Time will be devoted to studying the Jesus of the Gospels and Acts, as well as the Letters of Paul.
