(in Polish) Geography and Theology in the Acts of the Apostles WT-CTR-GAT

The aim of the course is to acquaint the students with the problems related to the correlations between geography and theology in the Acts of the Apostles. The knowledge and the understanding of these specific correlations will enable the students to understand the details of both geography and theology, as they were presented by St Luke in the Acts of the Apostles. The course will also enable the students to understand the book of the Acts of the Apostles as a book which depicts the two basic directions of Christian dynamics and movement: centrifugal (mission) and centripetal (pilgrimage, in this case, to the Holy Land). This phenomenon is of great importance for the understanding of the multifaceted Christian religious tourism, directed to various regions of the world and to sanctuaries (also in our country). The course will also show various phenomena from the realms of history, culture, literature, thinking, customs, and architecture of the eastern part of the Mediterranean, which are variously reflected in the Acts of the Apostles. The course will also make students sensitive to possible use of variegated geographical space to the needs of religious tourism. The course will also teach the students to make research, analyse, evaluate, select, and integrate information concerning a given biblical source (in this case, the Acts of the Apostles) and its bearing on Christianity. Participation in the course in the English language will also help the students to learn English in the scope sufficient for engaging in activity in the realm of Christian religious tourism at the B2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Language skills.
