Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This seminar examines selected topics in the history, theology, and liturgy of Christians in Jerusalem and Palestine, from Constantine until the present day.
Topics covered will include the history of Late Antique Jerusalem, the development of the Holy City's sacred topography, the rise of pilgrimage (i.e. Egeria, Itinerarium), sacramental theology and baptismal catechesis (i.e. Cyril/John of Jerusalem, Mystagogical Catecheses), liturgy (i.e. Great Lectionary of Jerusalem in Armenian and Georgian translation), monasticism (i.e. Cyril of Skythopolis, Life of St. Sabas), the development of Arab Christianity, and the influence of the Crusades. The seminar will conclude with an examination of the current situation of Christians in Jerusalem and Palestine.
Students will prepare for each seminar session by familiarising themselves with the assigned primary readings in order to actively participate in seminar discussions. Other assignments will include a brief presentation (max. 10 minutes) introducing one of the texts read in class, as well as a term paper on a topic related to the student's own research (to be approved by the instructor).
Prof. Harald Buchinger (Dean, Faculty of Theology, University of Regensburg) will also participate in several sessions of the seminar as a guest lecturer through the ERAMUS+ programme.
