RELI 8526  JESUS AND ARCHAEOLOGY (3 credits)

Jesus and Archaeology is a course surveying the material culture of Judea and Galilee in the time of Jesus. Studying materials is a new approach to the long study of the Historical Jesus Quest. By providing a large amount of archaeological data, this method contributes a critical mass on old debated questions such as the society in Judea and Galilee, rural versus urban, Hellenism versus Judaism, size, population and language of Galilee in the time of Jesus and much more.
