Generell informasjon
Jesus from Nazareth is the most significant person in the religious history of humankind. He occupies the central place in Christianity,
but he also plays an important role in other religions. This elective will investigate how Jesus is understood in different religions such as
Islam, Hinduism, Gnosticism, and modern religions and by Christians in different contexts, and then discuss these images of Jesus in
their relationship to the Biblical understanding. One will also ask what the uniqueness of Jesus according to the New Testament means
for a theological evaluation of other religions, and for the church's encounter with people of different faiths in dialogue and mission. The
approach will be interdisciplinary and use material taken from history of religion, New Testament theology, systematic theology and
missiology.
