This unit discusses the textual,<br />
archaeological and socio-cultural<br />
evidence for the origins <strong>of</strong><br />
Christianity; with a particular purpose<br />
to analyse how cults centred on<br />
the charismatic figure <strong>of</strong> Jesus <strong>of</strong><br />
Nazareth led to the construction <strong>of</strong><br />
such a powerful religious tradition.<br />
Tensions within that emergent<br />
tradition will be considered, and<br />
especially its struggle towards selfidentity<br />
with both Judaism and the<br />
Greco-Roman world.<br />

(lecture/lab/tutorial) Day<br />
An investigation into the various<br />
ways in which the arts - music,<br />
dance, literature and visual art -<br />
relate to religious life. Lectures and<br />
tutorials will introduce students to<br />
the world <strong>of</strong> religion and art in the<br />
traditions <strong>of</strong> China, India, the Middle<br />
East and Europe. <strong>The</strong> interpretation<br />
will particularly focus upon the way a<br />
people’s understanding <strong>of</strong> the sacred<br />
shapes the significance they give to<br />
the arts.<br />
