This course will explore the cultural development of Christianity from 1500, with a focus on the transformations of the religion caused by the Reformations and the interaction between Europeans and native peoples in Africa, Asia, the Atlantic World, and Latin America. This course will help students to develop greater cultural sensitivity, a deeper appreciation of cultural difference, and an ability to understand religion and culture in today's interconnected world. This will be accomplished in part through the historical study of cultural products related to Christianity, such as art, language, literature, political writings, and visual media. Junior/senior status recommended. Prerequisite: ENGL 102. (General Education - World Cultures). Three credit hours.
