Welcome to History of Christianity: Ancient to Medieval! The objective of this course is for you to characterize, evaluate, and contrast the development of the Christian religion in its first one thousand years. You will read primary and secondary sources, as well as engage with material culture from the Art Institute of Chicago, Newberry Library, and LUC's own Rare Books Collection. The course is set up thematically in chronological order to survey consolidation of doctrines, cultural and linguistic expansions, concentration of religious and monastic networks, and the organization of scholastic educational systems. The story this course seeks to reveal is how the Christian religion defined mission, self, and others.
