Course Description:
This course gives an overview of two thousand years of Church History. Students will observe that Christianity of the first century A.D. had its roots in Judaism. It was all Jewish until the second century when it had become mostly Gentile. It will be shown how that a Greek and Roman mindset replaced the Hebraic mindset and affected tremendously the history of Christianity. The course acquaints the student with the characteristics of the true church as revealed in the Book of Acts. Focus will be on how the church through the centuries went through several cycles of revival, apostasy and revival again. Attention is given to important leaders and significant issues throughout the centuries. Finally, consideration will be given to the signs of the times pointing to the soon return of Jesus Christ. That event will usher in a glorious eternal future for the church. Throughout this course we will see mistakes to avoid in leading a ministry or organization and how to lead effectively.
