Jesus of Nazareth is arguably the most consequential figure in Western history. But what can we know about him historically, and how can we know it? This course tries to integrate three relevant areas: (a) The culture and society of first-century Galilee, where Jesus lived and taught. (b) The history of scholarship on Jesus, since the European Enlightenment, and its varied approaches to the literary and historical evidence for his life. (c) Central questions that need addressing in a 'life of Jesus’, and the ancient evidence for them.
