CHHM 612 - Christian Church & Its Future in America

Institution:

Eastern University

Subject:

Christian Heritage and Mission

Description:

This course will look at the major movements of the 20th century and how those movements have evolved or dissipated in the 21st century. When Will Herzog wrote his classic Catholic, Protestant, Jew these groups have been more homogenous and dominant. Later on the 20th century evangelicals have spoken with a more unified, conservative voice in theological matters while the African-American Church was a social movement for morality and social reform. Currently, the non-denominational church is increasing in size, the denominational churches are decreasing in size and influence, the impact of the African-American Church is questioned and the ethnic churches are proliferating. While we are rejoicing greatly at the growth of the international church, the emphasis of this course will be on the church in the USA.
