SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATIONS AND ARTS
Credit Points: 15
 
Description:

This unit investigates the rise of Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism through a critical study of the Jewish Scriptures (Tanakh/Hebrew Bible), the Christian Scriptures (Old and New Testaments), and Jewish texts from the Graeco-Roman period (Dead Sea Scrolls, Hellenistic Jewish texts, early Rabbinic texts). Attention is paid to the social and political contexts in which these two religious movements arose, the nature of the relationship between the two movements, and their rapid separation into two distinct traditions.
