Description
The primary aim of this course is for its participants to enrich each one's own sense of having a Christian identity within the heritage of the communion of saints over two millennia.

Such a broad historical perspective will enable contemporary Christians to appreciate how fluid, precarious, and confusing the provisionality of 'Christian Identity' has become today.

F- Augustine's challenge of 'the Christian' in Theodosian Society
G- Christian Identity in the Age of Benedict and Gregory the Great
H- Christian Identity in Conflict with Islam, from Timothy of Baghdad to Bernard of Clairvaux
