Jesus is undoubtedly one of the most significant figures in history; however, who was Jesus? Though the doctrinal affirmations of Christianity seek to answer this question from the perspective of theology and faith, ever since the Enlightenment, some scholars have sought to present an answer from the perspective of history. This course considers both the history of historical Jesus studies and contemporary trends in the discipline in order to come to a greater and deeper appreciation of this important, and often controversial, aspect of the ongoing academic study of Jesus.
