HIST 305A Ancient Christian Roots

The course will identify features of the earlier medieval religious world that had endured since late antiquity, albeit adapted to new circumstances. After considering terrain and material culture, we shall examine social, institutional, and cultural developments under such key headings as "community", "leadership", "ceremony", "formation", "anthropology", and "art". The course will open and close with a survey of the city of Rome immediately after 590 and immediately before 1073.
