Description:

This course will examine the main religious themes of the Protestant Reformation through a study of its major figures and movements in Europe in the sixteenth century. During the semester we will briefly study the church-historical framework of the Reformation and will concentrate on an investigation of the religious/theological content of the Reformation in each of its main branches (Lutheran, Reformed, Anabaptist). In order to do this we must first provide the historical background (Medieval Church and the rise of the Renaissance) and the immediate context (the political situation and the lives of the Reformers). Prerequisite: RS100A. Satisfies the second institutional requirement in religious and theological studies. Three hours a week.
