Offizielle Kursbeschreibung: In this course, we will read and discuss Larry W. Hurtado’s book “Why on earth did anyone become a Christian in the first three centuries?”. Reading the book, we try to find reasons individuals might have had to become a Christian even though this choice also meant to hazard possible negative consequences. But while reading the book, we will not only focus on its content but also on the English language itself. In this course, English is our language of instruction and thus you will get the chance to polish up and/or to broaden your English skills. In accordance with your own language skills, we will take time to repeat grammatical phenomena and to expand your vocabulary. Even if you might consider your English skills on a very low level, please join our course. We can agree on the final syllabus, level and pace of our course in our introductory meeting.
Organisatorisches: Zielgruppe: Everyone interested. Voraussetzungen: At least basic knowledge in English and the motivation and willingness to improve your written and oral skills. Leistungsnachweis: Prüfungsleistungen sind entsprechend der Studien- und Prüfungsordnung zu erbringen
