Introduction to the New Testament: Postcolonial Perspectives
This course introduces students to the New Testament through a postcolonial lens, exploring the biblical texts in light of the Roman Empire’s colonial rule and its implications for the early Christian movement. We will examine how power, empire, and resistance shape the writings of the New Testament, and how postcolonial theory can offer new insights for interpreting these texts today. Students will critically engage with the sociopolitical context of the New Testament and consider how early Christian voices responded to imperial authority, marginalization, and cultural hegemony.
