New Testament: Paul and the
Pauline Letters
Part 1: Paul and the development of
early Christianity
How does
following
Jesus of Nazareth become
believing
in Jesus Christ? This course will
explore the role of Paul of Tarsus in the growth
of ‘Christianity’ and his missions to gentiles.
Special attention will be given to the book of
Acts and emergence of a distinctly Pauline
theology.
Part 2: Pauline letters in context
What is the relationship between Jewish and
Greek culture? How one understands the
answer to this question deeply impacts how the
letters of Paul are interpreted. In this course the
relationship of Judaism and Hellenism will be
introduced as it relates to the spread of
Christianity and particularly the writings
attributed to Paul.

Christianity and Society
Our visions for society and policy proposals are
informed by cultural and personal values and
background assumptions. The course will treat
the different philosophical principles and models
put forward by I. Kant, utilitarianism and K.
Marx. It will then examine the ways in which
political, liberation, feminist and postcolonial
theologies can partake in and challenge the
public debate on equality, justice, recognition
and reconciliation in a global world.
