Learning outcomes
The course aims at illustrating the development of the 1st century Christian movement by highlithing its fundamental unity and the diversity of its historical expressions.
Program
After a presentation of the sources, and after an assessment of the methodological problems, attention will be devoted to the first developments of Jesus’ movement, starting from the Easter: from the presence of a nomadic radicalism to the local communities with their sapiential tradition, to the Judeo-Christian community of Jerusalem, to the foundation of a “Hellenistic” community in Antiochia, to the fundamental turn of the Jerusalem assembly that opens the doors to Christian universalism.
Great attention will be given to Paul’s mission, to ist implementation and the specific features of “paulian” communities that will become fundamental for the further development of Christianism.
With the end of the apostolic period and the destruction of Jerusalem (70 a.D.) a new situation appears and the writing of the Gospels starts. A profile of the Churches to which these writings are directed will be given and particular attention will be devoted to the development of the “John’s tradition”. Finally, the “Paulian school” will be taken into account, the production of its writings and the fundamental lines of its interests: biographic (Acts of the Apostoles), doctrinarian (Colossians, Efesians) and pastoral (Pastoral Epistles).
