HIST 399 - Seminar: European Missions in the Global Age, c. 1500-1700


Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 4 Hours
Attribute: 4 SS
For many Europeans, the Reformation raised fundamental questions about religion. The simultaneous discovery of a new world with no knowledge of the Christian God opened the door for an opportunity to build a new, pristine Church. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, thus, witnessed a wave of missionary zeal. This course explores the writings of European missionaries who sought to bring Christianity to all corners of the world, focusing especially on sources concerning Asia and America.
