| HIS 3405: The Scientific Revolution and Christianity in the Reformation Era in Europe, 1500-1700 |
| Prerequisite: UCOR 2000. Surveys the dramatic changes in science, philosophy and Christianity in the Western tradition 1500-1700. This is the era of the contemporaneous events we call "The Scientific Revolution" and "The Reformation". This course is a selective historical tour of the maturing of physical science (especially astronomy and cosmology) in the sixteenth and seventeeth centuries and the parallel developments in Christianity as the new Protestant denominations were breaking away from the historic Catholic Church. We will investigate and evaluate connections, interactions, and influences between science and religion. |
