Church History
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
The course provides the general lines of the history of Christian churches and the necessary tools to navigate the problems posed by a two-thousand-year-old event. Particular attention is given to the relationship between texts and images, sources and studies. The course is divided into three modules: the third module is reserved for the more in-depth study of a figure or a particularly significant moment for the history of the church.
Expected learning outcomes
To take the exam successfully, the student will have to demonstrate a complete knowledge of the materials of the course and must be able to master the specific language of the discipline, with a clear, orderly and systematic exhibition, demonstrating autonomous and personal skills for the redrafting of the content. The achievement of these objectives allows the student to pass on to a discussion with the teacher in the classroom; the discussion of the gradually proposed sources (available in the space dedicated to the course on ARIEL) will be a moment of critical reflection and methodological learning. Participation in seminars and meetings proposed by the Department of Historical Studies will also be of great importance. Students opting not to attend the lessons will be able to make use of the educational tools provided by the instructor on Ariel, deepen their knowledge of main topics through special readings with the agreement with the instructor, and of course contact the instructor either by e-mail and during office hours
