This research seminar will help students to research the
dominant role of religious ideas and institutions in forming
the self and society of Europeans in the later middle ages
and 16th-century. Much of the focus will be on the
relationship between individual Christians and surrounding
community and church. This will entail an examination of
saints, mystics and philosophers on the one hand and those
declared heretics or witches on the other. The relationship
of state power to religious organization and religious
change will also be discussed in a comparative perspective,
considering England, Spain, Scotland, Germany and France.
