Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The equality of women in the Protestant Church is an achievement of the 20th century (1980 Equality in the Protestant Church in Austria). Nevertheless, there were also interesting female personalities in the centuries before, who left their traces in the history of Christianity.
The lecture deals with selected women from the history of Christianity from antiquity to the time of the Reformation and places their work (e.g. as apostolate, as martyr, as prophetess, as pilgrim, as ascetic, as saint, as empress, as visionary, as reformer) in the context of their time.
The aim is, apart from content-related biographical knowledge, to develop an awareness of the historical-cultural-historical conditions for the life and work of the women of the respective epochs.
The lecture will be conducted as a lecture with reading and discussion.
Accompanying the lecture, each student will develop a source-based critical portrait of another personality of his/her own choice and introduce it through a poster presentation.

Assessment and permitted materials
