In this CU we approach 3 themes.  The 1st theme “Renaissance and the reform of the Church” deals with the Great Schism, the different religious councils, the Reform and the Counter-Reformation, the topics of individualism and its religious expression, the function of the press  and of the Universities. The 2nd theme, “In a space of Classicism” , we analyze the religious borders and the building of a Protestant Europe, having in mind the anti-trinitarianism and  the clash between Catholic Europe and Eastern Christianity. The 3rd theme, “Academy and Encyclopedism”, analyses the relationship with God in the discovery of the divinity laws and in the paths of mysticism, the anti-clericalism, the millenarianism and the progress.
