This course focuses on interpretation of 1 and 2 Corinthians in a visual context through interaction with first-century art and texts. The course will take place online. Weekly presentations/lectures will be updated to the Moodle site. During the week students will participate in group discussion forums on the course site, constributing three substantive comments or replies related discussion prompt/topic which integrate information from assigned readings and the instructor's presentation(s). Students will be assigned one presentation on an image or piece of visual art from Corinth and one 12-15 page research paper on a visual theme(s) in or around 1 or 2 Corinthians. (Topics for presentations and research papers will be developed in consultation with the instructor.) This course is intended for MDiv and MA/MTS students.
