New Testament Survey: Christianity, Modernity, and Justice

The New Testament’s Relationship With the Modern World and Our Conceptions of Justice

(New Testament Survey Religion Course #562)

This course will introduce students to Christianity as a cultural, relational, and political force shaping the world, particularly the modern United States. The course examines how Christian scriptures and traditions have contributed to American public life and how diverse groups of Christians have drawn upon faith to address the social problems of their day. Our focus will be on conceptions of justice in human relationships derived from faith, tradition, reason, and experience. The goal of the course is to prepare students to think critically about religion in the world, and to equip them for their own work in facing the challenges of the 21st century.

Students will earn 0.5 religion credits.

*Please note – the AM section is for 9th graders, the PM section is for 10th-12th graders.*
