A History of Christianity

A seminar-style course session titled 'A History of Christianity: From Pentecost to the Reformation', part of a Sunday series running October 18 to November 15. Dr. Robin Brooks Ishler offers a sweeping account of the first 1,600 years of Christian history, examining the social, political, and intellectual forces that shaped Christian institutions and the Church's theological questions. The course explores the Church's relationship to the state, power, identity, and authority across Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the early modern period. Discussion and debate are encouraged, with a suggested $10 donation toward lunch.
