This course critically reviews early Christian and Byzantine art from the 2nd to 6th century. Its fundamental idea is that early Christian art emerged and evolved as manifestations of the faith's conversation with its changing cultural contexts. Students will learn to critically engage the role theology, ecclesiology, socio-economics, and politics have in Christian art, with a special emphasis on church/ worship architecture as innovative art. The course will use a multi-media format.

Women or men honored as saints reveal much about the religion and culture that identifies them in this way. Examining holy persons from the medieval Francis and Clare, to early modem figures such as Ignatius of Loyola, Teresa of Avila, and Kateri Tekakwitha, to the more recent Dorothy Day and Oscar Romero, this seminar considers how models of sanctity have and/or have not changed over time and in a variety of contexts. Attention to saints as miracle workers and models to imitate, to the gendering of sanctity and how some saints may transcend gender roles, and to negotiation between popular piety and official recognition of saints (such as through beatification or canonization).
