Religions and Violence II

The course “Church and Peace” is composed of three different parts. These are three different historical screenshots, respectively: Late Antique, High Middle Ages, Contemporary Church History. The course tries to show how religious history relies on different periods from very different sources. Firstly, an edict, i.e. a legal document, secondly a medieval chronicle, thirdly an encyclical, the public contemporary history with its multiple sources. Through this partition are not only three different contexts but also three different meanings of “religious peace” to be seen.

• Giving highlights on a vast topic of church history, in three different historical periods
• Using three kinds of sources and scientific literature from different disciplines
