Annotation

In the Summer Semester 2024/5 the theme of the course is: Baptising Jews? How protestant churches and ecumenical organisations understood missionary activities among Jewish populations in Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries. We read primary texts and interpret them in the context of the time. Significant attention is paid to the time before, during and after the holocaust.



General information:
The course is designed for the acquisition of basic methods of historical research, applied to the material of the history of Christianity. The students learn to reflect on the phenomena from the past not only through the secondary literature, but also through the primary sources obtained, and make themselves familiar with the rules of source criticism and interpretation. They take part in discussions about these sources, fulfil smaller assignments (a presentation) and accomplish the course by a larger paper.
