RELI 185 - Early Christian Books and Their Readers Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)
(Same as CLCS 185 ) Gospels, letters, accounts of great deeds, and apocalypses are the primary literary genres that the earliest followers of Jesus read and circulated. For the most part, they circulated in a new format, the codex. In this class, we read a selection of these texts–both canonical and apocryphal–and then examine their codex format. Through a variety of writing assignments we make arguments about what the text and its physical form might say about early Christian books and their readers. Debra Bucher.
Two 75-minute periods.
