REL-236 History of Christianity in the Middle Ages

GER: HA (Historical Analysis of Human Interactions)
Survey of Christian civilizations in the Middle Ages (c. 600-1500), both in the Latin West, as well as in the Byzantine and Syriac East. Attention will be paid to the social, institutional, and intellectual dimensions of religious life, as well as to ways in which understandings of an idealized “Christendom” affected interactions with religious others, especially Muslims and Jews. 4 credits
