Sophomore Seminar: The Reformation in Britain
HIST 167
Fall 2009 not offered
|
| Course Cluster: Christianity Studies |
This sophomore seminar will attempt to introduce students to the thinking about historical problems and historical documents by examining one of the most intriguing and volatile of developments, the Protestant Reformation in England and Scotland. Attention will be paid to the relationship of church and state, the struggle of individual Christians in choosing and defending their religious practices and faith, and the way that religious crises developed national identities. Considerable attention will be paid to chronicle and documentary sources as well as biographical studies of kings, queens, nobles, and commoners, whether reformers or Catholics. |
