The study of the history of the Church provides a vital context for understanding the contemporary Church. We can’t truly understand the present unless we understand the past, because the past created us.
This unit surveys the development of traditions, the growth of theology and the unity/disunity displayed in the church during the past 2,000 years. The clashes between people, ideas and movements is a thrilling journey in itself, but it will also prove to be a journey of self-discovery.
