- Frontline:
From Jesus to Christ: The First Christians
- This
site is a resource to use with the PBS television show " From Jesus
to Christ: The First Christians." It is four one-hour shows covering
the following topics: how Judaism and the Roman Empire shaped Jesus'
life; the period after the crucifixion but before anything was actually
called Christianity; the first attempts to write the Gospels; and,
how the early church developed from 100 to 300 C.E. This is the most
student friendly site that I came across. You don't need the video
to benefit from this site. Best for high school students, probably
11 to OAC. --Chris Dunlop
- Guide
to Early Church Documents
- This
site shows New Testament Canonical information; writings of the Apostolic
fathers; patristic texts; creeds and canons; and relevant internet
sites. It would be helpful to the Catholic educator because it contains
pointers to accessible files found on the internet relating to the
early church. -- Antonella Ali
- This
site contains information on early Church documents. It is divided
into 8 sections: New Testament Canonical Information; Apostolic Fathers;
Patristic Texts; Creeds and Canons; Later Texts; Related Documents;
Miscellaneous Documents, and related Internet Sites. Each section
is sub-divided into articles pertaining to the particular topic which
offer a critical perspective and historical overviews of Church Documents.
This site is very informative and would make a great resources for
senior level secondary students writing research papers. -- Dina Monaco
- The
Historical Jesus and Early Christian Origins
- This
site works like an academic chat line. It has three main purposes:
to discuss the life and career of Jesus of Nazareth; the social, political
and religious world in which he lived; and the nature and development
of the social/religious movement which arose in his name. The site
has a very academic focus, and is intended for professional scholars,
graduate students and members of the clergy. You have to apply for
membership to the site, giving a list of your academic credentials
and reasons for applying. This seems to be way beyond anything that
could serve as a reference for either elementary or high school students.
The site authors suggest something called the Compuserve Religious
Issues Forum for those of us lacking the proper credentials. --Chris
Dunlop
- The
Jesus Seminar
- This
is the home site of the famous, or infamous if you wish, Jesus Seminar.
It opens with its raison d'etre: " We are going to inquire simply,
rigorously, after the voice of Jesus, after what he really said."
The first section of this site deals with the seminar's latest document
entitled " The Five Gospels: The Search for the Authentic Words of
Jesus". That is followed by its first document: " The Acts of Jesus:
the Search for the authentic Deeds." The site then explains how the
members of the Seminar arrive at what is actually authentic, with
a description of the colour coding of the New Testament, and how some
sort of consensus is arrived at by the members. --Chris Dunlop
- New
Testament Gateway: The Historical Jesus
- This
site is maintained by Mark Goodacre, a Theology prof at the University
of Birmingham. The site is based on a course he teaches at the university
called " the Historical Jesus "and is divided into four main sections:
a list of general resources, a list of course materials, a list of
discussion sites and a list of books and articles, all on-line. A
good resource for secondary students. Perhaps the best part is the
fourth part, where students have access to full books and articles,
all on-line, regarding the historical Jesus. I think that most students
would be amazed at the amount of discussion and scholarship that goes
on in the everyday academic world on this topic.--Chris Dunlop
