Title: Theologies of Protestant Refor
Course Section Number: REL-273-01
Department: Religion
Description: The social movement spawned by Martin Luther's (1483-1546) protests against certain church practices and theologies in the later Middle Ages led to more upheaval and creativity than in any other period in history. This course will examine the causes of the Protestant Reformation, explore key texts of Luther's theological writings, and analyze what the effects have been, for good or ill, of the movement's legacy. Special attention will be given to Luther's writings on freedom and the relationship of the church to the temporal authority (what we would call the "state".) We also will compare those views with the views of other reformers, such as Calvin, Zwingli and Muntzer. Prerequisites: REL 171 or 172 recommended, but not required.
