Auschwitz Concentration Camp

Global History of Holocaust and Genocide

RLST/JWST/HIST 1830 

Professor David Shneer

This course will examine the interplay of history, religion, politics, culture, and psychology to try to understand why the great philosopher Isaiah Berlin called the 20th century. "The most terrible century in Western history." Our focus will be on the Holocaust but we will explore related concepts such as racism, imperialism, violence, and the dehumanization of individuals in the modern world. Topics covered include Native American and Indigenous genocide; HIV/AIDS; sexual violence; and the question of just war.

Introduction to the New Testament

RLST 1910

Professor Celene Lillie

We often think of the history of the New Testament as the history of Christianity, but it is really a history that lies at the crossroads of ancient Israel and the Roman Empire. In this class, we will explore the earliest scriptures of what eventually became Christianity in the context of their Jewish and Roman imperial roots.
