Dieses Modul bündelt Vorlesungen und Seminare zum religiösen Leben in der Spätantike und im Mittelalter. Das Modul kann sowohl für 5 CP als auch für 10 CP belegt werden und richtet sich vor allem an Studierende mit einem historischen Interesse am Thema Religion Teil 1: From the Jewish Messiah to the Muslim Dajjal: Apocalyptic Thought among Jews, Christians and Muslims in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages (Seminar), Sommersemester 2025 , Mo 16-18, Universitätsstr. 90a, Raum 0.13. Unterrichtssprache: Englisch Students will examine the historical development of the concept of the Messiah in all three faiths from late antiquity to the Middle Ages, and how this idea interacted with or prompted the creation of “Armulos” in Jewish thought, the “Antichrist” in Christian, and the Dajjal in Muslim thought. Students will also consider how these stories of the messiah/anti-messiah and his mother played into or served to counteract each groups’ concepts and accusations of “bad” masculinity and femininity. Students will read a variety of medieval sources in translation plus scholarly works on the subject. Course taught in English. Assignments may be written in German or English or in another language with the previous agreement of the professor. In-class participation in the discussion of readings and regular preparation for the class required Teil 2: Religions in the Sasanian Empire: Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Judaism (Seminar), Sommersemester 2025, Mi14-16, Universitätsstr. 90a, Raum 3.06 Unterrichtssprache: Englisch The Sasanian Empire was one of the greatest world powers in history. It stretched from 220 to 651 AD, and spatially from present-day Kyrgyzstan in the north-east to the Arabian Peninsula in the south-west, and from the eastern border of present-day Pakistan in the south-east to Georgia in the north-west. Not only Zoroastrianism, the ancient Iranian religion, was at home in this geographically broad and long-lasting empire, but also religions that were not formed in the Iranian cultural area, such as Judaism, Christianity and Buddhism. In addition, there is an extremely successful religion, namely Manichaeism, which spread as a world religion during this period. The course deals with the interplay between three of these religions: Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Judaism. It discusses the acculturation processes of the non-Iranian religions in the Sasanian Empire, religious contacts and their effects on the respective religions. In the course, both secondary literature and primary sources in translation will be presented for discussion. The seminar is aimed at both BA and MA students. Attendance, active participation in the discussions, the study of the literature provided for the sessions, and their presentation in the course are compulsory in order to acquire the corresponding credit points. |
