1 Theological Heritage III: Medieval Reformation Dr. Shelli Poe Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, Millsaps College Office: Class dates: Jan 5-6, Class times: 6:45pm-10pm Fridays; 7:45am-4:15pm Saturdays (See schedule below for adjusted schedule, including breaks) Course Description Nowadays there are hundreds of Christian denominations: Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Reformed (Presbyterian, Congregationalist, United Church of Christ, Disciples of Christ), Mennonite, Episcopal/Anglican, Baptist (General Conference, Southern, National Convention, Primitive, American, Free Will), Pentecostal (Church of God in Christ, Assemblies of God, Foursquare Gospel), Methodist (African, Free, Southern, Union American, United), and more! Listing just a few is enough to make your head spin! Why are there so many different denominations, and how did they proliferate so plentifully? In this course, we ll investigate the two major divisions within the Christian Church that led to all this chaos (the East-West split of 1054, and the Protestant Reformation of the 16 th century). Using these as focal points, we ll consider how unity might be maintained along with difference. This course offers you the opportunity to consider the benefits and burdens of chaos and community. Assignments Participation (20%): We will be working in small and large groups throughout the course. Your active participation in these groups will be important for the success of the course. Ask questions, offer your perspective, listen to others, take notes, and share your group s work with others. In these ways, we will become a classroom community. Short Paper (20%): In 1,250 words (approximately 5 pages), make an argument about how power, truth, and/or justice is partially at stake in the Eastern Church s separation from the Latin West. To do so, offer a close interpretation and analysis of a primary text. Presentation (20%): In 15 minutes, lead the class in presenting one of the major thinkers or movements within the Protestant Reformation. Use a visual aid and interact with your audience. Thereafter, lead the class in discussion for 15 minutes by offering questions for consideration. Capstone Paper (40%): In 2,500 words (approximately 10 pages), make an argument about the benefits and burdens of difference within community. Link your argument to your own practice of ministry, and use course texts as evidence to substantiate your arguments. Required Texts: James Tracy, Europe s Reformation, Justo Gonzales, The Story of Christianity, Vol 1*, Vol 2 Henry Bettenson & Chris Maunder, Documents of the Christian Church* Julian of Norwich, Showings (available online) *Students will have the book from a previous class or Licensing School 1
