REL 367 - Advanced Topics: Lost Christianities (1)

This course examines the origins of Christianity, with a special focus upon the ancient Christian controversies over authoritative texts, ascetic practices, and beliefs about the nature of Christ and the universe that culminated in the council of Nicaea. This class not only studies the construction of orthodoxy and heresy in both ancient and modern Christianity, but invites students to experience the drama in a competitive role-playing game that (re)creates the council of Nicaea.
