THEO 346 - Hellenism Judaism Christianity

3 Credit Hours
The objective of the first part of this course will be to examine the major ‘moments’ in the intellectual encounter between Hellenism and Judaism in the period from Alexander through the end of the first century CE. In the second part of the course, we shall turn to Greco-Roman responses to Christianity, and the attempt by Christians to seek an identity for themselves as the ‘third race’, coming to claim for themselves the dual heritage of Hellenism and Judaism. The course is particularly suited to majors in Classics and Ancient History and majors in Theology and Philosophy whose interests lie in the Greco-Roman period.”
