THE MEDIEVAL WORLD

Class Description: Students taking this course will benefit from the integration of History, Literature, and Theology in true liberal arts fashion. The facts and events of medieval history are illuminated by literature and primary sources of the time period, along with thought-provoking essays written by a wide range of contemporary scholars and educators. Class discussions encourage students to understand these events and their repercussions in light of ultimate things, always with the goal of becoming more like our Savior, Jesus Christ.  

Dr. Soderberg's sections have been approved by New Saint Andrews College for dual credit at that institution (2 NSA elective credits). For more information about this option, please contact the LOS registrar.
