RELS 3327 Jesus: Incarnate Word

Students explore the nature and person of Jesus Christ through the lenses of historical studies and theological reflection.  The course begins by examining the scholarly search for the historical Jesus and its contemporary portrait of Jesus of Nazareth.  After situating Jesus in his social and historical context, the course analyzes the development of Christological doctrine in the early Church.  The course then turns toward developments in contemporary Christology, drawing attention to how Christians in different places around the world continue to ponder the meaning of the Christ of Faith.
