This course surveys the history of Christian traditions from the Apostolic era to the Late Medieval era focusing critical engagement on the historiography and theological developments of the Christian Church. Students will be introduced to the tools and resources available for work in the field of historical theology. Special focus will be given to the development of theological discourse in general but will also address the development of Trinitarian theology and Christology in the various linguistic and cultural contexts of Christian communities. Related topics and themes to be explored will include the development of religious authority, ascetic theology, and ecclesiology including the sacramental theology.
