HIST 300C - Legacy of German Reformation

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

History

Description:

In 2017, the world will recognize the 500th anniversary of the start of the Reformation. Like the 1992 Columbian anniversary, this anniversary will raise many controversial questions about the impact of this event. The Reformation has been credited (sometimes falsely) with breaking the monopoly of Roman Catholicism in Western Europe, opening the doors to the Scientific Revolution, creating conservative backlashes that would impact the roles allotted to women and the fervor of conversion in the "New" World, cementing anti-Semitism in Europe at the same time that it advanced Hebrew studies, etc. This course will address the German Reformation and its legacy with special attention to the conflicts that it both created and attempted to resolve and the consequences that ensued, both intentional and unintentional. Secondly, it will include a focus on how Europeans see Americans, what has led to the American stereotype in Europe, and how students can learn to recognize how their behaviors and attitudes are perceived.
