Church: 1400 to Present

Catalog description

Taught by JST. This lecture/discussion course is an historical survey of Christianity from the 15th century to the present. As surveys go, it's meant to lend an impression that lingers-one that informs broadly but also relies on occasionally closer scrutiny of select topics. These topics include Christianity in the late medieval world, the Reformation, early Jesuit history, faith and the Enlightenment, missiology and the Church in the 20th century. The course is studiously multi-disciplinary, approaching major developments in the Christian churches from a variety of perspectives and historical sources.
