Christianity and its Discontents, from Paul to Luther

This course is a history of Christianity from its origins in the Jewish ministry of Jesus of Nazareth and the writings of Paul in the Roman Empire to the outbreak of the Reformations, Protestant and Catholic, in the sixteenth century. It will focus primarily on the story of Christianity in the Mediterranean and Western Europe, in the context of broader historical developments in both the Byzantine and Islamic worlds, with occasional glances as well to wider global contexts.
