1 HEBREW STUDIES 238 SEARCHING FOR THE HISTORICAL JESUS UWM, Fall, 2009 Professor David Brusin It is impossible to understate the importance of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. But what do we really know about him? Do the sources [both the Gospels included in the New Testament and those not included] provide a consistent and clear picture of Jesus? What other sources can we turn to? A problem that must be confronted immediately has to do with the non-historical nature of the sources we depend on. Everyone interested in the historical Jesus agrees that he was a Jew. What do we know about first century Judaism and how might that help us in describing the religion and religious experiences of Jesus? Who Jesus of Nazareth was and what he did is often inseparable from the theological convictions and literary conventions of those who write about him. And despite what they say, many New Testament students and scholars often fall back on their own theological biases and predispositions when research allows for competing interpretations. One main objective of this course is to sort through the many issues related to discovering the historical Jesus and to stimulate critical thinking and meaningful dialogue about history, theology, and faith as complementary ways of retelling and re-imagining the complicated and storied past of Jesus. Another main objective is to encourage and equip students to formulate, test, explore and defend their own historical reconstruction and understanding of Jesus. REQUIRED BOOKS E.P. Sanders, The Historical Figure of Jesus, Penguin Books, 1993, paperback Amy-Jill Levine, Dale C.
