Modern Church History: 1500 A.D. to the Present (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Modern Church History: 1500 A.D. to the Present (en Inglés)"
THE history of Christianity is, no doubt, full of twists and turns: the earliest examples of the Christian church consisted of a group of outcasts who, in turn, worked to change the entire world, one experience at a time. Through the Middle Ages, we saw councils, violence, and wars, as shifts in church focus moved to politics, power, and gain. The pressure mounted to an explosion point, and the ultimate explosion arrives in the form of the Protestant Reformation - and beyond. Originally written to teach modern church history at the college/seminary level, in Modern Church History: 1500 A.D. to the Present, Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino, Ph.D., D.Min., D.D. traces the details, changes, rises, and falls of key points in Christian history through the modern day points of church history. Using key documents and writing key summaries of church issues and information present in middle church history, Dr. Marino takes the student through over five hundred years' worth of historical events - from the Protestant Reformation, Counter-Reformation, renewals, revivals, awakenings, the Holiness, Evangelical, and Pentecostal Movements, modern missionaries, ecumenical councils, and the church today. This complete volume includes the necessary readings for each week, outlines of history in each chapter, explaining and expounding upon the current themes and issues of the topic at hand, a historical timeline, homework assignments and final exam, for a complete modern church history course.
