Church history describes the growth of God’s kingdom on earth starting with Jesus and his disciples in Jerusalem to the emergence of a global religion with countless followers from all nations. In this course, we’ll explore the growth and development of the church throughout history from the time of the Reformation to the present day. In the process, we’ll examine the development of Protestant Christian theological traditions, especially regarding the major protestant denominations coming out of the Reformation: Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican, Arminian, Baptist, and Pentecostal traditions. God has worked powerfully through all of these traditions, though these traditions have not had the same impact equally across all regions where the Church is present.
