The Apostle Paul
This course focuses on the undisputedly authentic letters of Paul --
Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, and
Philemon. Some attention is also given to the letters attributed
to Paul but thought by many to be pseudonymous -- Ephesians, Colossians,
2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, and Titus, as well as to Acts of the
Apostles insofar as it sheds light on Paul's career. The goal of
the course is to understand Paul's letters, their theology, ethics, and
argumentation. Efforts are made to read Paul within his original
contexts -- early Christian, Jewish, and Greco-Roman, and to understand
the role he played within earliest Christianity.
