Overview

What were the greatest achievements of Roman civilization? How did its best poets and political philosophers respond to the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire? What was early Christianity really like, and how did it evolve in the century after the crucifixion? What roles did St. Paul and the authors of the Synoptic Gospels play in creating modern Christian theology? These are some of the topics addressed in HUMN 320.

The course consists of two parts. The first part (Units 1 to 3) deals with the history and culture of Rome, and concentrates especially on the period of transition from the Republic to the Principate This was a time when Rome was trying to adjust to its conquests, to far-reaching social and economic changes and to the influx of new ideas, and was trying to restore its roots and to refurbish its myths and traditions. This was an age of great Roman writers, including Cicero, Lucretius, Livy, and Vergil, all of whom are studied in the course. It was also the time of the birth of Christianity, and the second part of the course (Units 4 and 5) focuses on the origins and early development of Christianity under the Principate and the early Empire.

Special attention is paid to the historical evidence for the life of Jesus of Nazareth and the beginnings of the Church, to the seminal theology and influence of Paul of Tarsus, and to the controversial issues involved in dating and interpreting the three Synoptic Gospels. Although the course employs a historical perspective, its overall approach is interdisciplinary, drawing upon the insights of classical scholars, literary critics, theologians, and historians of the ancient world.
