Jesus Through Medieval Eyes

Each student will read Jesus Through Medieval Eyes by Grace Hamman and write a 1500-word reflection paper comparing medieval perceptions of Jesus to those of modern Christians today. Using Hammans work as a jumping-off point, each student will need to answer the following question: How would a medieval person view modern depictions/understandings of Jesus? In order to successfully answer this question with nuance and sophistication, consider how Jesus is depicted in todays world. What dominant images or ideas do we have about Jesus today? How do those differ from the images/ideas that you encountered in the medieval perspective? Which ideas of Jesus do you believe are very similar? How do you see medieval ideas still influencing present-day beliefs about Jesus? If a medieval Christian could travel into the future and visit us now, what kind of critiques would that person have regarding Christian perspectives today? It is not required to use sources beyond Hammans work; however, if it helps the student better understand the historical context or discussion, the student is encouraged to engage with other material. The purpose of this assignment is to help the student get into the mindset of the medieval Christian and begin to understand the difference between modern and medieval worldviews. The style of bibliography/footnotes will follow the Chicago/Turabian style.
