MINO5133: Church History

3 hours. This course is a survey of church history from the New Testament period to today. The focus will be both on the historical and doctrinal developments of the Church. Special attention will be given to the many ways that Christian thought contributed to the development of societies, including the distinctives of American Christianity. The Church's monumental leaders and thinkers will be examined through both secondary and primary sources, from the early Church Fathers to twentieth-century voices.
