This course surveys the literature of the New Testament within the historical and religious context of the ancient Meditteranean world. The course consists of class discussions, lectures, student projects, and, most of all, readings. This course is a reading course, and the students' completion of all reading assignments is essential for their success. Assignments, discussions, lectures and tests all presuppose that students have read carefully and on schedule the readings from the Bible and textbooks.
Late assignments receive a reduced grade.
