CHHM 510A - Church in Mission Through History: Part 1

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Christian Heritage and Mission

Description:

The purpose of this survey course is to introduce the study of Christian Heritage and Mission in such a way that church history is understood in light of God's mission and God's mission is understood in light of church history. The theoretical scope of this course is tremendous; it covers 2000 years of human history on six continents. It will be made more manageable through learning-centered teaching methods and by focusing on a limited set of themes, geographical regions, and time periods which were most influential for subsequent developments in the church's mission. Students will also be exposed to a variety of historical writings such as biographies, historical theology, social history, and even historical fiction. Its purpose is to introduce students to a broad area of study so that they can choose subsequent courses to take in the area of Christian Heritage and Mission. A deliberate effort will be made in the assignments for this course to help students to see the connections between contemporary church life and the history of Christian mission in earlier eras.
