KNH1015 – A Global History of Christianity
More
Course Description: This introductory course will introduce students to the methods and study of the history of Christianity. It will also provide a survey knowledge of major events and trends in Christian history which will be required for other Knox College courses. These courses will expect that students will know the historical context of monasticism, the Wesleys, etc. As a survey course, topics will not be covered in extensive detail or at great depth: rather the course will allow students to place events in their proper chronological order and cultural context which will allow for more detailed study of topics later in further courses at TST and as needed in congregational ministry or further graduate study.
