TH 606 - The Life and Writings of Saint Paul

(3.00 cr.)

This course is devoted to learning how to read and analyze the letters of Paul. The arguments in Paul's letters are often subtle, couched in an idiom and rhetoric that is often more foreign to us than we might think, and engage different issues from what one might normally expect. Second, there is more secondary literature on Paul than almost any other figure in the history of the world. Students are introduced to some significant pieces of scholarly literature related to the texts being read.
