TH 218 - Sacred Journeys: The History and Theology of Christian Pilgrimage

(3.00 cr.)

From the Church's earliest days, pilgrims have taken lengthy, sometimes dangerous journeys to visit holy places-to walk where Jesus walked and to see where saints lived and died. The development of Christian pilgrimage, from its beginnings to the present day, is studied with emphasis on the theological concepts behind pilgrimage practices. Visits to local pilgrimage sites are included.
