NT & Critical Theol

Catalog description

Seminar. New Testament Studies comprise a wide array of methods and hermeneutical approaches to the biblical texts. In addition to Historical-Critical, Literary, and Socio-Scientific Approaches, Cultural Studies and Ideological Criticism have offered in the last twenty-five years ground-breaking insights on the biblical texts and, more importantly, on the nature, boundaries, and scope of the discipline of Biblical Studies itself. In the present seminar we will explore these trajectories of interpretation with particular attention to Postcolonial, Queer, and Critical Race Studies. [Faculty Consent required; 10 max enrollment]
