BTH 3510 - Patristic & Medieval Theology

Institution:

Crossroads College (Closed)

Subject:

Description:

This course will consist of an examination of key writings, theologians and theological movements from the Patristic and Medieval eras. Due to the scope of the material, the course will focus on two themes. The first is the Patristic church's attempt to determine, "who was Christ?" The second is the mediev al church 's attempt to find a balance between faith and reason. These themes are important because they give access to the churc h's first attempt to think systematically and comprehensively about its beliefs, identity and relationship to the world at large. Examining these themes also accesses a variety of different voices in the early church-both male and female, eastern and western. Accordingly, the course will examine these texts with a view toward gaining a sense of the nature and task of theology in its complexity and variety. Prerequisite: BTH 2400. Offered: alternate years.
