FTAE 390 - Early and Medieval Church History and Architecture: Focus on Pilgrimage

(3 credits)

This course aims to make clearer the policies of the Roman Catholic Church across Western Europe - and especially France - during the Middle Ages. In an introductory class on pre-historical times and Antiquity, we will examine the birth of spirituality and abstract thought in mankind, and then move along to the emergence and development of Christianity during the Roman Empire.
