1 Christian Origins I: Portraits of Jesus Religion 328a Fall 2004 I. Instructor: Dr. Michele Murray Divinity 24 (ex. 2377); Office Hours: MW 3:00-5:00 PM or by appointment II. Class Time and Location: 1:30-2:45 in Preston III. Description: Who was Jesus of Nazareth? How was he perceived by early Christians? These questions raise issues that continue to be hotly debated by New Testament scholars. Was he a charismatic Jewish prophet? A social revolutionary? A rabbi? A Cynic philosopher? A magician? This course will undertake a survey of the dominant images of Jesus reflected in select early Christian literature, in modern interpretations by scholars engaged in the Quest for the Historical Jesus, and in film. The significance of myths of origin as well as the socio-political forces that influenced and shaped these portraits of Jesus will be investigated. Caveat: All students should expect that our work in this course will challenge your beliefs and assumptions about Jesus and about Christianity. This will be the case regardless of the concerns and background you bring to the course. All students should be prepared for this challenge (to the degree that any of us CAN be prepared for the unknown in advance!!). IV. Course Objectives 1. To enjoy the academic study of religion; 2. To become familiar with canonical and non-canonical early Christian literature; 3. To understand the variety and complexity of early Christianities and to be aware of the social, historical and political forces that shaped their particular portraits of Jesus; 4. To develop skills in critical reading and interpretation of both primary and secondary texts; 5. To develop skills in presenting material orally and leading class discussions; 6. To develop skills and discipline in researching a topic and writing up the results in understandable form. V. Texts A reading pack designed specifically for this course is available for purchase at the
2 Bishop s bookstore on campus. Other readings will be from books held ON RESERVE in the library. Students should have access to a Bible. The New Revised Standard Version is preferred, but other versions are acceptable as well, except for The Living Bible and the Good News Bible (neither of these offers a close translation of the original Greek). To compare the Gospel passages, you have two options. You may purchase a copy of Kurt Aland s Synopsis of the Four Gospels (United Bible Societies) from either or chapters.indigo.ca. Or you may photocopy pages from an extra copy of Aland that I have (if need be I can put this on reserve at the library). VI. Course Requirements and Student Evaluation 1. Attendance at all classes. If you are sick, or away from school for an emergency, please let me know in advance if possible (either by or voice mail message). 2. Seminars: since this is a seminar class, each student will prepare for and lead class discussion on three occasions over the course of the semester. The primary purpose of your seminar is to generate and lead productive discussion on your topic. The seminar component is worth 30% of the final grade (3x10%). Further information regarding the selection of topics and how to prepare for your presentations will be provided. 3. Research Paper: worth 30% is due Monday, Nov. 8. It is to be pages long (4500 to 5000 words) and to reflect the usage of at least 10 different secondary sources. Topics of papers will be decided in consultation with me. This consultation is considered a crucial part of the paper process; neglecting this meeting will adversely affect your grade for the essay. A tentative outline and annotated list of preliminary bibliography is due Monday, Oct. 4 and is worth 10%. See below for further details on the research paper. Also, have a look at my colleague from the University of Toronto Scott Brown s excellent A Guide to Writing Academic Essays in Religious Studies at It will really help! 4. Film Review: a critical assessment of a film of your choice on Jesus worth 20%. Due date: in class Monday, Dec. 1. Further information on this, as well as a list of possible films, will be provided later. 5. Readings for each week must be completed in advance of classes. Sometimes these readings are not long but sometimes they are! The Gospels are rich texts with multiple layers of meaning, so that even if the passages are not terribly long, you will need to read with focus and thought. What I recommend is that you set yourself a fixed amount of time to read a passage, take notes as you read, and then prepare a summary of the key points and issues which the passage raised for you. Note any questions you might have about the text (including any vocabulary that is not familiar to you) and raise these in class. In this way you will interact with the material in such a way that your understanding of it will be much more profound. 6. Class participation: this component takes into account your attendance, prepared class presence and participation in class discussions. It is worth 10% of the final grade.
3 VII. General Course Outline and Readings (subject to change) Note: Unless I indicate otherwise, the headline Readings is to be read by everyone while the title Recommended Reading specifies additional material to be read primarily by the person who is leading the class discussion on that particular day. Of course, it would certainly enhance your understanding of the topic (and set my heart aflutter!) if you read both sets of readings.
