Free course Christianity under construction: Worship and architecture

The Museum of sacred art promotes a free course on the topic “Christianity under construction: Worship and architecture”, with Professor. Dr. Jack Barnett.

The goal of the course is to present the relationship between worship and architecture within the Christianity and, in a special way, as this relationship has settled over the centuries. In Roman Judea, for example, the encounters of Jesus with his disciples along outdoors, in public places, or in private meetings in the homes of friends or supporters. However, After his departure and with the teachings of the Master considered heretics, the community of his followers going on to suffer persecution: first Jewish religious authorities, After Roman military and civilian authorities. Thus, to conserve the Evangelical tradition and to protect yourself from your opponents, the Church needed to find his own way: not only creating your own theology, as well as being your own place of worship. It is intended to, therefore, demonstrate how this gave, that is, as Christianity, of illegal and persecuted sect, It became the official religion of the same Empire that wanted to destroy it; and, for that, has as starting point and arrival the grandeur of your architecture.
