Requirements / organisational issues:
Addressed to:
All theology students and listeners of all faculties. Exam candidates to review the topics.
The lecture imparts in-depth basic knowledge of a central epoch of Protestant church history and is therefore suitable for both first-year students and exam candidates.
Form of work:
The lecture takes place in presence form. This offers the advantage that comprehension and discussion questions can be asked at any time and references to the present can become clear. Experience has shown that this makes it much easier to assimilate the material.
Compulsory attendance:
According to the legal regulations, attendance is not compulsory. For active participation, however, two of three short and simple tests (15 min.) on the main topics of the lecture must be completed (50%). The tests take place within the lecture times on 24 May, 28 June and 17 July.
Contents:
The lecture offers a basic introduction to the political, social and cultural history of the Reformation and the theological approaches of the leading reformers.
- Perspectives on the Reformation
- Luther's early development up to the Diet of Worms in 1521
- The Reformation in the cities and territories
- The "Radical Reformation"
- Imperial politics and the Reformation 1521-1555
- Calvin
- Confessionalisation, Thirty Years' War and Peace of Westphalia.
