THEO 6464 - The Reformation

Institution:

Fordham University

Subject:

Description:

For the average European in 1500, the Church of Rome would have symbolized stability and authority; its claims to mediate between God and humankind would have gone largelly unchallenged. Yet only a century later, Europe's house was divided, politically as well as theologically. This course will explore the many changes wrought by a series of major reformations: In Germany, the movement given direction by Martin Luther; in Switzerland, that was led by John Calvin; in England, that led by successive kings, queens, and their churchmen: and in the Roman Catholic Church, that which emerged simultaneously with "Protestantism." The approach will be to focus primarily on the development of Protesant and Catholic theologies, with emphasis on soteriology and the sacraments, but the course will also situate that development against the background of medieval and early modern religion, society, and culture. 3.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate (Semester) Schedule Types: Lecture Grad Sch of Arts and Sciences College Theology Department
