Course Evaluation
Class Description:
The church has experienced many waves of progress―and some waves of regress―in its journey over the past two-thousand years. This course gives students an overview of the history of the various expressions of the Christian faith and orients students to the differences in the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant, and Pentecostal forms of Christianity.
