CHRISTIANITY AND LATE ANTIQUITY

Credit Hours: 3 · Undergraduate Upper-Level

This advanced seminar treats the formation of Christianity as an institutional power in relation to the Roman Empire. Starting with the Edict of Milan in 313 CE, which put an end to persecution of Christians, and closing with the Council of Chalcedon in 451 CE, which established normative Christian doctrine, we will move through this development in seven roughly chronological units.
