Description:

Students also focus on how these events shaped the formation and thought of the Stone-Campbell Movement, a movement that, in many ways, has mirrored the prevailing theological trends. A final consideration of this course is the role of nativism in American Protestant thought and 88 its impact on Protestant-Catholic relations. Prerequisite: BTH 2400.
