| Summary of Module |
|---|
This module will supplement other biblical modules by focusing on and integrating most of the principal areas of the theology of Paul in the New Testament, and particularly how the concepts of that theology reflect and reframe the message of Jesus as it is portrayed in the New Testament Gospels. Particular features will include theological exegesis of the Pauline letters and the history of interpretation. Major Christian treatments will be considered as well as representative modern critical scholars.
The course will include detailed study of a range of texts in their various forms, an outline survey of modern critical scholarship of the theology of Paul, and the history of Pauline interpretation. There will be time for wider class discussion and theological reflection on human experience as explored within these texts.
The student will therefore develop skills in theological reflection, contemporary hermeneutics and critical scholarly engagement with Paul, and appropriation of ancient text as applied in contemporary experience.
