RUSS 38.14 Other Christs: Introduction to Eastern Christianity

Every church preaches its own Jesus: this course is devoted to the ‘other Christs’ of the Eastern Christian traditions. Some celebrate the liturgy in the language of Jesus, others in the language of the pharaohs, and their communities are spread across Egypt, the Middle East, Russia, the Caucasus, India and beyond. This course explores the rich, multicultural history of Christian communities whose origins reach back to early Christianity, and the challenges they face today.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
