RELG 350 - Eastern Christianity
Fall (3) Angelov (College 200, ALV)
This course surveys the history of the major Christian churches and communities in the East. We will explore topics like East/West ecclesiastical divisions and controversies, mysticism, the theological and social role of pillar saints, holy warriors, holy fools, vampires, and witches. The discussion of Orthodox communities and their theologies will throw light on the formation of secular culture and the role of the Orthodox churches in contemporary politics and society. (This course is anchored in the ALV domain, and also considers aspects of the CSI domain.)
