Saints and Sinners: Rome Through the Centuries
office of international programs
Rome, Italy
This course explores the intricate interweaving of theology, politics, and the Catholic Church throughout its first sixteen centuries, with special attention to central theological achievements (e.g., Trinity and Christology), institutional developments (papacy), and political conflicts (e.g. imperial and national governments) of these centuries, and also to major figures (e.g., St. Francis, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Ignatius Loyola, and Martin Luther), as manifest in the architecture, art, and artifacts of Rome, Assisi, and Florence.
Professor Boyd Taylor Coolman
