Learning outcomes
|
The course aims to introduce students to the topic of Christianity and provide them with a basic contextual orientation within a given phenomenon. Christianity is presented in a gradual historical development, from the historical backgroung of its origin to its current form, focusing on the very content of Christianity. A key methodological tool for a proper understanding of the issue is the heuristic rule, according to which the historical and systematic perspectives are mutually conditioned.
- acquisition of essential knowledge of Christianity (history, key terminology, relevant religious content) - ability to competently distinguish two main discursive levels: religionist (Christian religious facts, meanings and manifestations) and historical (historical context and perspective), their differentiation from the theological level (interpretation of religious contents ad intra) - students will become familiar with the basics of Christianity, specify individual religious problems and are able to discuss them
