    Description

    Präsenz- und Online

    In der goldenen Zeit der Patristik (4.–6. Jhd.) entstehen zahlreiche Klassiker der Theologie: Kirchengeschichtliche und exegetische Werke, systematische Abhandlungen, antihäretische Reden und mystische Traktate, monastische Regeln, Gebete und Gedichte und vieles mehr. Diesen Texten und ihren Autorinnen / Autoren ist diese Vorlesung gewidmet. Exemplarisch werden zentrale Werke und ihre Urheber vorgestellt. Anschliessend werden Auszüge gemeinsam gelesen, um so Einblick in die faszinierende Welt einer Literatur zu erhalten, die weit über diese Epoche hinaus Kirche und Gesellschaft geprägt haben und prägen.
