ContentThe Minor Orthodox Christianity (30 EC) provides an introduction to Orthodox academic theology. The Minor programme is open to students enrolled in any bachelor programme at a Dutch university and to students enrolled in a Dutch HBO bachelor programme. The only requirement for admission is basic knowledge of the Bible. The Minor consists of six courses of 5 ECTs each. The teaching staff consists of: Fr John Behr, Fr Michael Bakker, Fr Joan Lena and guest lecturers. The programme is offered in the innovative ‘blended learning’ format, combining online learning and physical meetings at the ‘intensives’. At the end of both semesters, during a two-day intensive, students present their papers on two different subjects in a so-called ‘flipped classroom’. Following the intensive, students have a few more weeks in which to complete the course. At the start of the programme a meeting will take place on Saturday 4 September 2021 during which students and lecturers will be able to get to know each other and acquaint themselves with the digital educational platform Brightspace. Interested in this Minor? Please contact the coordinator at michael.bakker@ftr.ru.nl before enrolling |
Students have to register for the minor as a whole as well as for the individual courses.
