This course will explore and examine some historical phenomena concerning understanding of sacraments, the bible, ecclesiology, and reform. The course will treat these themes in the context of the medieval church as well as in the context of medieval heretical movements (e.g., the Cathari, the Waldensians, etc.). It will also treat these themes as addressed by both Catholic and Protestant Reformers of the sixteenth-century. These various episodes will serve as comparative illustrations of theological and practical approaches to church reform in both the middle ages and the early modern period. It will significantly consider primary/historical source texts (in translation) as well as secondary, scholarly literature.
