CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course will consider the formation of Catholicism (Latin Christianity) up to the 12th century in relation to the Greco-Roman context and the barbarian invasions. Moving from North Africa to Western Europe, and using a combination of text, music and artistic, architectural, and archaeological evidence, it will examine the formation of doctrine and discipline in relation to schisms, heresies and Hellenic philosophy, the origin and developments of western monasticism, the papacy, church and state relations, and the construction of liturgy. A theme will be the interplay between the centrifugal and centripetal.
