Research Seminar in history of christianity (Antiquity or patristics)

In order to make students self-sufficient and critical in their research, they will be introduced to the critical and detailled study of a theological or literay question about ancient christian literature or of a historical question about chritian antiquity. Individually or in group students will be taught to pratice a rigorous method. They will use specialised tools for patristics or history of Antiquity.

At the end of this activity, the student will be able to - use the main tools for patristics and history of Ancient christianity; - read critically the ancient sources; - understand and appraise critically articles and monographs on these sources; - produce a clear and scientific presentation of his work.
