Certificate Course: How Did We Get Here? The Story of the Church
Course Description:
In the immortal words of the Talking Heads: “Well, how did we get here?” The story of the church is one of a community figuring itself out, seeking to be faithful to Christ and an agent of hope and change in the world. But the church doesn’t look like it did at the beginning. So what changed? Is the church an agent of hope, or has it become just another institution of the status quo?
This course looks at the history of Christianity by looking at turning points: moments where the church transformed, for good and for worse. We will examine how Christians understood Christ and God through history, how they worshiped and prayed, and how they lived their lives in the world. Along the way, we’ll find that Christian history is not really about learning the past — it’s about finding a new way to understand where we are right now (and how we got here).
