The Gospel of St John
The principal aim of the course will be to furnish an appreciation of Johannine literature as Good News, with particular reference to the theological perspective of the author. The course will further aim at providing a basic familiarity with, and a critical assessment of, contemporary critical thinking on the Johannine writings, particularly the Gospel of John.
The New Testament in the Light of Rabbinical Literature (THEN162)
Jesus of Nazareth did not teach in a cultural vacuum: he and the Sages of the Talmud (successors to the Pharisees) shared the common context of Second Temple Judaism. This course offers an insight into this shared historical and religious universe, to better understand the links and differences between the message of Jesus in the New Testament and the Jewish rabbinical tradition. It highlights how these two great traditions respond to and influence each other, while following distinct paths.
