A new field of study is inaugurated, bringing Christian Theology and Scripture into focus through the study of early texts and formative currents of Christian thought.
Study begins with Biblical Hebrew, engaging directly with the language of the Hebrew Bible to grasp the structures and concepts shaping its earliest traditions.
Students examine early Christian writings, including texts attributed to Thomas, Peter, and Judas, tracing the development of ideas that influenced emerging Christian doctrine.
The seminar series expands this inquiry, exploring how Judaism, Christianity, and Islam conceived the Divine in their early traditions and how shared themes shaped later thought.
