Judaísmo y cristianismo en la ciudad de Roma: historia, fe y tradición will be held in Rome in January 2025. The course offers an exploration of the Jewish and Christian traditions in the city, through classroom sessions, field trips and excursions.
It will trace the history of early Christianity and archaeological sites that are testimony to it, starting in the 2nd century, when work began to build the catacombs, first by the Jewish community and later by Christians, as underground tombs.
It will chart the development of Judaism and Christianity in Rome, with evidence afforded by the city’s architectural and artistic heritage, to give new insights for interfaith reflection.
There will also be excursions further afield to Florence and Assisi.
