It is no exaggeration to suggest that outside of Jesus, no single individual in the first generation of Christians has had a greater impact on the church’s thought and practice than Paul. His letters constitute more than half of the New Testament books. In this course, these letters are explored, bearing in mind that they reflect one side in a dynamic conversation between Paul and his congregations. Themes such as the creation of the "one new man" (i.e., the breaking down of ethnic and societal barriers in the church), the law, the Jews, and the gentiles in the early church, Christian expression in a pagan society, Paul and his opponents, Paul’s missionary strategy, the character of our existence in Christ, and the growth of Paul as a pastor, among others are explored.

保罗的著作与神学

可以毫不夸张地说，除了耶稣之外，第一代基督徒中没有一个人对教会的思想和实践产生比保罗更大的影响。他的书信占了《新约圣经》的一半以上。在本课程中，我们将探讨这些书信，留意到它们其实反映出保罗和他的会众之间互动对话的一个面向。主题包括「新人」的创造（即打破教会中的种族和社会障碍）、早期教会中的律法、犹太人和外邦人、异教社会中的基督教的表述、保罗以及他的敌对者、保罗的宣教策略、我们在基督里的特征、保罗作为牧者的成长等，都会进行探讨。

This is a second year Hebrew course that uses the Old Testament as the main textbook. Each week the students will read and examine a passage from the Bible in order to reaffirm the first year grammar and vocabulary, while also expanding on these areas with new vocabulary and advanced points of grammar. The student will also grow in their understanding of the literary art of the Old Testament and how the internal structure can differ depending on the genre and/or time of writing.

这是本期《圣经希伯来语》第二年的课程，以《旧约》为主要教材。在每周的课堂上，学生们将阅读并查考《旧约》的经文段落。目标是：巩固第一年的语法和词汇，同时用新的词汇和高级语法点，扩充过往的已知领域之外的新知识。学生也将对《旧约》的文学艺术，有长足的理解，并掌握其内在结构因类型和写作时间上的不同而产生的差异。

In this exploration into the relations between Christianity and Judaism we will examine the reality in late antiquity at the birth of Christianity and continue to survey the relationship as it became dominant. Christian theological attitudes towards Judaism (e.g. supersessionism) will be presented and their painful implications (including expulsions, blood libels and the inquisition) studied. Jewish evaluations of Christianity will also be surveyed. We will conclude with an examination of the positive, post-holocaust, developments in Christian-Jewish relations. Readings will be taken from historical and theological literature and students will read William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice.
