CH502-o History of World Christianity II: Reformation and Globalization Christianity has always been a global faith, quickly spreading north, south, east and west of Palestine. However, around the 16th century that process expanded greatly, as missionaries and immigrants brought Christianity to Asia, Africa and the Americas. At the same time, reformers were calling for a return to early Christian belief and practice in Europe. The twin processes of globalization and reformation characterized ensuing centuries of Christian development, as increasingly diverse European Christians sought to spread their faith to newly encountered people and continents. You will track this evangelicalism as both a result of European reformations and participant in further globalizations. Finally, you will be asked to integrate this knowledge with your own spiritual, theological and vocational commitments. 3 credits Lecturer and Instructor: Dr. Brian Arnold Prerequisite: None Frequency: Every Fall (online)
