Course
Description
This course
examines the three most similar stories of Jesus in the New Testament:
the Gospels of Mark, Matthew and Luke. Through close reading and guided
observation, you will gain a basic mastery over the content, formal
features, social locations and theological perspectives of these three
short stories. In addition, comparative analysis of the three will
challenge you to consider several questions:
- how
the gospels are related to one another
- why
these three gospels (and John) were selected as scripture against
some 17 others
- what
these stories tell us about the historical Jesus
- what
these stories tell us about the early Christian communities
