Institution:

University of Portland

Subject:

Description:

Christianity is a spiritual movement of faith centered on the crucified and raised Jesus of Nazareth. We will trace its history from origins as an obscure Jewish sect, a brash but fledgling group challenging the Roman Empire, through mature self-definition in the Middle Ages, to the challenges of Islam's rise, the Reformation, and the Enlightenment. After 1000 C.E., our course will narrow its focus to the West, and conclude COURSE DESCRIPTIONS Theology - 249 by studying Christianity in America. Select profiles and primary reading of representative figures will complement the survey of major epochs, person, themes, and events. The course will attend to the development of historical institutional features, theological-intellectual themes, moral outlook and expression, and spiritual practices.
