Religious change, exchange and counterchange: A long-term historical perspective HIS5020
HIS5020 is a foundational course for the History of Religion programme, contextualizing the program content within a very large geochronological range. Adopting a “Big History” perspective, HIS5020 locates human history in general and the history of religions specifically within this wider framework. The course introduces students to fundamental concepts in both history (e.g. periodization and mapping) and religion (e.g. conversion and reformation). Most lectures illustrate events, concepts, or phenomena through material culture in an attempt to maintain a good balance between theory and materiality.
HIS5020 Religious change, exchange and counterchange: A long-term historical perspective is an obligatory course in the Master's programme in History of Religions.
