2 תאור כללי של הקורס: Brief Course Description: An examination of the course of the Christian appropriation of late Roman Palestine from the Jews between the days of Constantine the Great (early 4th century) and the Arab conquest (7th century). This period was indeed formative and shaped for generations to come Christianity's attitude towards the Land of Jesus as well as other issues, like sacred space, memory, pilgrimage and the formation of liturgy, all of which will be studied and discussed also through the lens of social theoretical approaches. The core of the course will revolve around the strategies and mechanisms via which Christianity (institutional and lay) attempted and achieved its goal as well as around the possible manifestations of Jewish resistance to the transformation of the Holy Land. מטרות הקורס: ראה לעיל תוצרי למידה בסיומו של קורס זה, סטודנטים יהיו מסוגלים: It is hoped that as an outcome of the seminar students should be able to decipher Patristic and other texts, read between the lines as well as contextualize such texts within a wider historical picture. דרישות נוכחות (%): מלאה שיטת ההוראה בקורס: The method by which students' acquaintance with the topic is to be accomplished is three fold: First - by an in depth reading and discussion of primary sources (if possible in their original languages).
