Classes » RELG 208, Fall 2024

Name

Saints, Mystics, and Monastics: Christianity from 312 to 1500

Description

This course has been renamed. It is the same course previously listed as RELG 208: Rebels, Reformers, and Prophets: Major Shapers of the Christian Tradition (Augustine to Aquinas).

This course examines basic themes in Christian thought and practice in formative periods from the fourth to sixteenth century. The course will proceed in a rough chronological fashion around a number of basic issues dealing with scripture, church organization, models of the Christian life, Christian thought, church-state relations, and public culture. Primary texts in translation will be employed as much as possible. Issues of historical development will be considered and so there will be some attention given to modern tendencies to historicize all ancient evidence, to enculturation within the Late Antique Roman world, and normative themes and practices within the faith community.
