THE 560: The Emergence of Christianity, 100- 800 hrs
3.00 Credits
University of Portland
The first great epoch of Christianity after the apostles witnessed the break with Judaism, the formation of the Christian Bible, antagonism and eventual cooperation of the Roman state. The age of martyrs gave way to an era of bold selfdefinition that articulated essential doctrines, matured spiritual practices, and formed the profoundly spiritual theology of the Church Fathers. Eventually it witnessed the growth of monasticism, the rise of the papacy, the conversion of Europe, and the challenge of Islam. Through historical vignettes, reading of select texts, and profiles of representative figures, we will track the growth of undivided Christianity in the first millennium. The course will attend to institutional features, theological understanding, ethical works, and mystical teachings.

THE 561: Revelation, Reason, Reform: Movements in Medieval and Reformation Christianity, 800- 1600 hrs
3.00 Credits
University of Portland
The second great epoch of Christianity witnessed its ascent to dominance in the West (our course's focus) and its impetus to self-renewal. The grandeur of the medieval cathedrals and the Summa of Thomas Aquinas contrast with the Church's East-West split, the Crusades, the Inquisition, the decline of the papacy, and the tumult of the Reformation. But Christian spiritual dynamism continued unabated in Roman Catholicism, magisterial Protestantism, and the newly emerging free churches. Historical vignettes, depth reading of selected important texts, and profiles of representative figures will track the diverse growth of Christianity in the West into middle of the second millennium. The course will note institutional features, theological- intellectual aspects, moral outlook and expressions, and spiritual practices.

THE 562: The Drama of Modern Christianity, 1600- 2000: Crossroads of Faith and Enlightenment- hrs
3.00 Credits
University of Portland
The third great epoch of Christianity in the West was born out of the exhaustion of Europe's religious wars and the rise of scientific perspectives. The Enlightenment and the rise of democracy challenged Christian faith in ways that still affect its views of God, Christ, creation, and the world. Views of biblical revelation and the role of the Church have especially been in ferment. Christianity has become a world movement inhabiting a vast diversity of cultures, while America particularly has offered a diverse marketplace of traditional churches, evangelical groups, and experimental communities. Historical vignettes, depth reading of selected important texts, and profiles of important or representative figures will track the further diverse growth of Christianity up to the present. The course will note institutional features, theological-intellectual aspects, moral outlook and expressions, and spiritual practices.

THE 563: Mystic, Thinker, Teacher: The Life and Work of Augustine of Hippo- hrs
3.00 Credits
University of Portland
Besides being the most provocative teacher in the history of Western Christianity, only Saint Augustine of Hippo (354-430) remains a force in contemporary thought. Besides his ranking importance in Christian theology for more than fifteen hundred years, his thinking still informs fields as diverse as psychology, political science, and philosophy. This course will track the life and thought while situating it in the context of late Roman antiquity and Christianity's growing domination. Alongside our focus on Augustine as a person, philosopher, theologian, and mystic, particularly in his classic Confessions, special attention will be paid to his interpretation of the Bible. We will also note Augustine's influence in medieval, Reformation (Protestant and Catholic), and modern periods.

THE 565: Christianity, A Concise History Through Twenty Centuries- hrs
3.00 Credits
University of Portland
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.
