Description
Parallel to the Lutheran Reformation of the Germanies and Scandinavia, other parts of Europe experienced Protestant Reformations that produced churches with which the ELCA is in fellowship today. Through reading, discussion, and lecture, this course will consider the Reformation in Zwingli and Bullinger's Zurich; the Anabaptists; Calvin and Beza's Geneva; Italy, France, the Low Countries, Scotland, England, and the New World. Specific topics selected by the class will be considered in their controversial historical contexts: Baptism, the Lord's Supper, Predestination, Resistance theory (to justify war against the crown), and others.
