Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Many famous church fathers and bishops are known as excellent preachers, whether Origen or Basil of Caesarea or John Chrysostom among the Greeks or Ambrose, Augustine or even Leo of Rome among the Latins. From these sermons one can see how rhetoric is combined with pastoral care, theology with spirituality, and which exegetical methods served as a basis.
The seminar analyzes selected sermons. The focus will be especially on understanding how "high theology" from the Arian, Donatist or also Pelagian controversy was conveyed in sermons.

Method: Under guidance, primarily primary source texts will be analyzed, which each participant will have to prepare independently. Presentations on supplementary secondary literature are to be given. An own term paper applies this to a self-selected topic in an own analysis.

Assessment and permitted materials

The performance evaluation consists of three parts, each of which must be completed with a positive result:
a) Preparation / attendance / contributions to discussions (35%; 1,5 ECTS);
b) presentation with handout (30%; 1 ECTS);
c) Seminar paper (35%; 1,5 ECTS) on a topic from the seminar.
The seminar paper (approx. 20 pages) must be handed in by 1 April at the latest.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

All three partial performances must be completed positively.The overall grade is calculated by converting the partial grades as a proportion (see above).

Examination topics
