Topics: History of Christian Worship

Catalog description

Starting with the New Testament church and ending with the rapidly growing churches of the new global South, this course examines 2,000 years of Christian history and beliefs that shaped the practice and experience of worship. From plain song to power praise, and monasticism to seeker sensitive services, this course will attempt to make sense of these changes through the lens of history. The course will include mandatory field trips to religious services from different Christian traditions.
