THST 1012 Moses, Marx, Messiah

4 semester hours

Reading Jesus through Moses plants the seeds of Jesus as Revolutionary Teacher in human history. Once we establish a Biblical social Radicalism in a reading of Moses and Jesus as Messiah, this course goes on to examine examples in Christian history of revolutionary Christian movements for change that were deeply rooted in Biblical ethics. Some of these movements came into dialogue with Marxism in the 20th Century, creating significant examples of dialogue such as Liberation Theology and European Christian-Marxist dialogue. What will revolutionary Christian movements look like in the 21st Century?
