DR4090: THE ORIGINS OF CHRISTOLOGY (2014-2015)

Last modified: 28 Jun 2018 10:27


Course Overview

How did the Jesus of history become the proclaimed Christ of faith? At the heart of the earliest Christian Christology is the variously expressed association of the pre-Easter Jesus and his message with the post-Easter proclamation of Jesus as Messiah and Son of God, as testified in the New Testament. This course explores some of the early expressions and trajectories of the early Christian conviction to this effect, how these related to contemporary messianic expectations as well as other relevant Early Jewish and Graeco-Roman concepts and beliefs, and, of course to the focal point of early Christianity: the Christ-event itself.

Course Description

When and where did the post-Easter church's intensive reflection on the identity of Jesus of Nazareth begin? How did the Jesus of history, the proclaimer of the good news, become the proclaimed Christ of faith? This course aims to develop a deeper understanding of the central textual, historical, devotional and theological issues involved in the origins of early christology, focusing on the post-Easter understanding/interpretation of the activity of Jesus, his death, and resurrection appearances in their Jewish, Christian and Graeco-Roman contexts.
