Description:

4 hours This course offers an on-site introduction to the "Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification," signed in 1999, and to the significant venues of Lutheran- Catholic ecumenism. In order to provide background for the modern ecumenical movement between the two church traditions, the course traces the development of the religious, ecclesiological, and liturgical heritage of Germany and Italy, highlighting the historical development of Christianization from Rome (ancient sites, Vatican) to the Roman settlements among Germanic peoples though the origins of the schism of Martin Luther's time (Wittenberg) to modern efforts on behalf of Roman Catholic-Lutheran reconciliation currently underway (Ecumenical Research Institute, Strasbourg, France-"Joint Declaration on the Doctrine ofJustification"). The course is of particular benefit to students interested in the areas of European history and culture, museum studies, religion, ministry, and languages. Prerequisite: one of REL 101, 111, or REL 112. Offered alternate years. (Rel, Hist, Intcl)
