A woman of Pompeii
How did those who lived through
the heartbreak of Jesus' death
make sense of his resurrection?
What kind of community
did Jesus' resurrection shape?
Did it challenge
the imperial powers of the day?
And us?
How do we live
through our greatest sorrow
and into our greatest hope?

Course Format and Requirements
Each class will run on zoom for two hours with a 5 minute break half-way through. Although the bulk of the class will consist of Sylvia teaching, participants will also be able to post questions and points for discussion in the chat which Sylvia will monitor and answer. Powerpoint will be used periodically to show biblical texts and illustrations.
Each class will be recorded. Students who miss a class can request a link to watch the recording. Registrants can also follow the entire course through the recordings. The recordings will not be posted in any other context.
There are no assignments and no required reading for this course, although suggestions for further reading will be made as the course progresses.
