Course Content
The course will trace the process of definition and institutionalization of the Christian church. The institutional analysis will be accompanied by an examination of the "making" of the orthodoxy and of the theology, showing the dynamics of inclusion (orthodoxy) and of exclusion (heterodoxy) which will build the religious conformity. A special attention, finally, will be devoted to the religious movements as pauperismus.

The exam is oral for all students, even those who do not attend lectures and exchange students (Erasmus and other programmes). The test consists of three questions on the following specific parts of the course: 1) methodological introduction; 2) history of the Christian Church; 3) history of the heresies. These three specific parts may be assessed by means of one or two complex questions which cover all the areas. During the exam, students may be asked to analyse materials discussed at lectures and made available through the e-learning platform.
Students must demonstrate sufficient knowledge in all three parts to pass the exam.
The marks obtained in the three parts are totalled to yield the final mark.
The exam is designed to test:

Course program
The course will trace the process of definition and institutionalization of the Christian church, showing the historical transition which brought the Christian Churches at the division between Greek Church and Latin Church. The institutional analysis will be accompanied by an examination of the "making" of the orthodoxy and of the theology, showing the dynamics of inclusion (orthodoxy) and of exclusion (heterodoxy) which will build the religious conformity. A special attention, finally, will be devoted to the religious movements as pauperismus, highlighting their ambivalence: from the legitimation of imperial power, to the complete renewal of the society.
