HIST 533 traces how religion and political authority co-evolved across Europe and the Ottoman world over five centuries, treating faith not as a separate sphere but as the language through which monarchies, empires, and reform movements actually justified power. Weekly lectures move from late-Byzantine Christianity and the failed crusades through the Reformations, the Tudor and Spanish "sacraments of monarchy," and the French wars of religion, ending at Tanzimat-era reconfigurations of belief. You'll read closely (Febvre, Bisaha, Calic), sit a take-home midterm, and produce an original research paper synthesizing primary and secondary literature. The course rewards students comfortable with comparative cultural history and gives the long backstory for anything you'll later study on nationalism, secularization, or modern Middle Eastern politics.
