BBST 752 - Myth and Society in the Acts of the Apostles3 credits
If Acts is empirical historiography does creating a sub-category of religious history bring the reader any closer to understanding the identity formation and socio-political issues attendant on the role of angels, auditions, and visions. Angels, auditions, and visions are non-empirical events. This class explores the engagement of a mythic worldview with those characters and events in the Acts of the Apostles. Can a mythic worldview shed further light on non-empirical and empirical passages in Acts and on the relationship between communities of story teller in an ancient empire? In this class we will read selected passages in the Acts of the Apostles in order to begin answering these questions.”
