HNR-180 Foundations of Christian Tradition

This course is an introduction to the meaning and significance of the Christian canon of Scripture. Students will learn how to read and interpret Scripture as the heart of the historic Christian tradition, attentive to the interpretive wisdom that the Body of Christ has cultivated over the centuries. After an historical study of the formation of the Christian canon, an overview of various unifying theological themes in the Old and New Testaments, and an introduction to the history of Scriptural exegesis from the early Church to modern biblical criticism, students will be instructed in the exegetical process and will be required to demonstrate their learning in the production of an exegetical work. Reserved for students in the John Wesley Honors College.
