Reading in Reformation and Early Modern Theology

(4 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This module involves close study of key texts of Reformation and counter-Reformation theology, setting these in the context of historical developments and noting the development of key theological themes and language. Texts will be studied chronologically, with attention paid to their contexts in the ecclesiastical developments and conflicts of the early modern period, as well as to their formative influence on the modern world.
