Thomas Jackson Oct 21 Reminders 1- Be sure to turn in Gender in the classical World and Han China/Rome...RIGHT NOW !!! Tonight's/tomorrow's reading (WTWA-pages 87-94) covers the rise of European Christianity in the wake of the fall of the Roman Empire Things to consider 1- In what ways do the fall of the Western Roman Empire allow for/encourage the growth of the Roman Catholic Church 2- Be able to discuss Monasticism and its role in the establishment of ONE Christianity in Western Europe 3- What can we learn from the Vikings successes and failures during this time period? 4- Does it seem that the existence of two branches of Christianity in Europe strengthened or weakened Christianity...or perhaps a bit of both?
