Module description
This module introduces students to the history of Christianity from the early church to the present, with particular focus on schisms and denominational histories, including Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, the early and later Protestant Reformation, non-conformist churches, and the Pentecostal and Charismatic movement of the twentieth century. Attention will be given to global Christianity, and the relationship between church and state and Christianity and society.
Teaching and learning methods
The course will be delivered principally through interactive lectures, which will provide a broad range of information and ideas and also afford students the opportunity of exploring aspects of this material in more detail through group discussion and interaction. WebCT will be used to support these teaching and learning activities where appropriate.
