Eastern Christian Theology – Coptic Orthodox
Eastern Christian Theology has developed within different communities. In the Coptic Orthodox community it developed within the Islam Empire, but as the spiritual cradle of Eastern Christianity with Alexandria as the theological and philosophical center of the East. With its roots embedded in the Jewish religious belief the coptic culture also adopted bits and pieces of the Pharaonic culture, but with the belief that God had planted Christianity as a precursor of Christ in this pre-Christian culture from which Jopseph, the Old Testament patriarch harvested and gave symbolically to Moses. This course will once more harvest the waste and rich resources of this ancient culture.
