Innovation, Reformation, Revolution: Christian Movements

Description

It begins inconspicuously, but in the end, much is different. Religiously motivated reform movements and societal transformations are closely interconnected. The lecture series describes six moments when Christianity shaped its time and environment—from the social explosive forces of the early Christian communities to Francis of Assisi's radical provocation of poverty, and to the silent self-renewal of the Catholic Church after the Reformation. What social, political, and spiritual forces drove these movements? And what remains when the dust settles? Six lectures, six epochs, one common thread: the creative and sometimes explosive interaction between religious impulse and historical context.

Highlights

• Six lectures on Christian reform movements
• Focus on social and political transformations
