RST 304 - Households of Faith: Family in Early Christianity3 Credits
Offered periodically
Early Christians talked often about family. We misunderstand them if we don’t understand that ancient families were very different than modern ones. In this class, we study a variety of ancient conceptions of gender, marriage, and family to understand how early Christians made moral decisions about family life, articulated their foundational beliefs in terms of family metaphors, and what relationship (if any) there is between these two types of discourse.
Prerequisite(s)/Restriction(s): One 100-level Religious Studies & Theology (RST) course
