Things I also would like to look at
THEO 43102 Early Modern Catholicism
Schreiner, Susan
M/W 10:00-11:20 S201
This course examines the Catholic reformation as well as the thought of Ignatius of Loyola, Teresa of Avila and the Inquisition of Francisca de los Apostoles. The course adopts the perspective that this era laid the foundations of early modernity in terms of science, technology, the development of the modern state, and the impact of humanism.
THEO 45401 A Scandal for Gentiles and Jews: The Body of Christ and the Body of Scripture in Early Christianity
Otten, Willemien/Nirenberg David
TH 1:30-4:20 S208
This course will focus on the challenges that Christianity's belief in the incarnation posed for ancient readers of scripture, both Jewish and Gentile, in order to ask what the consequences of these challenges were for the development of Christian approaches to the Hebrew Bible, ranging from tendencies in early Christianity to relinquish the Old Testament to reading it hence forth exclusively through a Christological lens. Special attention will be given to dualist perspectives and their alternatives in late antiquity (Paul, Philo, Marcion, Ignatius, Justin, Augustine) but the course will also deal with modern echoes in Von Harnack, Barth and Bultmann.

HCHR 53501 Religious Thought in the Later Middle Ages
Fulton, Rachel
T/TH 1:30-2:50 ARR
Derided for centuries as a period of decline, the later Middle Ages are now generally recognized as a period of exceptional flowering in the religious thought and practice of the Christian West. This course seeks to introduce students to some of the great textual works of the period while at the same time situating them within the social, intellectual, practical and liturgical concerns of their day. Larger issues to be addressed include the relationship between mysticism, theology and devotion; the role of women, laypeople and the deviotio moderna in the development of new devotional ideals; and the tensions between aesthetics, visions, cult and scripture as sources of inspiration and authority. Readings will include works from the thirteenth through the fifteenth centuries and (in translation) from both Latin and the vernaculars.

THEO 30200 History of Christian Thought II
Otten, Willemien
TH 9:00-11:50 S200
This second class in the History of Christian Thought sequence deals with the period from Late Antiquity until the end of the Early Middle Ages, stretching roughly from 450 through 1350. The following authors and themes will be analyzed and discussed: 1. The transition from Roman antiquity to the medieval period: Boethius and Cassiodorus. 2. The rise of asceticism in the West: the Rule of St. Benedict and Gregory the Great. 3. Connecting East and West: Dionysius the Areopagite and John Scottus Eriugena. 4. Monastic and Scholastic paragons: Anselm of Canterbury, Peter Abelard. 5. High-medieval monastic developments: Cistercians (Bernad of Clairvaux) and Victorines (Hugh and Richard of St. Victor) beguines (Hadewijch) and mendicants (Bonaventure). 6. Scholastic synthesis and spiritual alternatives: Thomas Aquinas, Marguerite Porete and Eckhart.
