Contents:
Lecture on the history of Christianity and its theology/ethics during the Middle Ages.
The Middle Ages are rightly viewed today as anything but a “dark and deep valley” between Patristics and the Reformation, even from a protestant perspective. Although special attention will be given to questions of particular importance for the theology of the Fathers and the Reformers, the lecture also takes into account the plurality of medieval piety (from Irish monasticism to late medieval mysticism) and newer cultural and socio-historical issues.
The lecture is a sequel to Ecclesiastical History I (Antiquity); however, its previous attendance is not a prerequisite.
The purchase or download of the source volume KTGQ II (see below) is recommended.
