REL 32.07 Medieval Practices of Ascension

This course considers medieval western Christianity through the lens of practices related to “ascending towards” or “becoming like” God.  A central feature of western religiosity prior to the Reformation, men and women, secular and religious, sought to transcend the shackles of base matter in order to become new, spiritual creatures.  In this course, we investigate their journeys, and we question why the Reformation sought to curb practices of ascent and whether or not it succeeded.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
