John: The Book that Turned the World Upside Down
Course Description
Few books in all of human history have been as influential as John’s biography of Jesus. In this course, we’ll look at how John’s recounting of Jesus’s life within the context of Israel’s history reworks key Greek ideas to bring about the transformation of antiquity and the beginnings of the modern world. We’ll also savour the opportunity to devote our attention to learning from Jesus, our teacher and Lord.
