‘Early Church History’ (Level 2 core subject) covers the history of the church through its first five centuries, introducing students to the theological debates that ultimately led to the formal statements of Christian faith contained in the great creeds. This period also displays the many practical challenges the church faced as a minority population in a context that often presented Christians with a choice between holding to their faith and death.

This a great course for someone wanting to understand the history of the early church and the challenges they faced, especially in light of where we are now as a church and the challenges we face.
