This course offers a brief introduction and overview of “the other” in Christian history. In this class we will explore some of the ways in which understandings of Christian identity were – and remain – built upon and shaped by a deep and consistent practice of “otherizing.” Two case studies will be considered: the depiction of Jewish people in The Gospel of John, and the persecution of various religious, ethnic, racial, and sexual minorities.
