Courses: Religion in Modern Europe (HISTB313001)
Spring 2010
Class Number: 1200
I or III SO
New Course: Until recently, historians agreed with Nietzsches 19th
century pronouncement that God is dead, viewing post-Enlightenment
history as one of increasing secularism. This course re-examines that
conclusion, looking both at recent historical research and at primary
source documents like the Darwins Descent of Man or laffaire du
foulard in France. If religion remained important in modern Europe,
why is Nietzsches verdict so widely accepted? The class has a
substantial writing component. Enrollment limited to 15 students.
