This course is a survey of Christianity in the modern world since 1492, with particular attention to North America. For the past five centuries the churches have had to struggle with a rapidly changing social and intellectual context called “modernity.” Students will examine modern Christian history in the context of colonialism, immigration, urbanization, scientific discovery, and religious pluralism. Special attention will be given to the formation of new churches and theological controversies during this period. This course will help students make sense of the complexity of Christianity and will provide them with resources for pastoral ministry and theological reflection.
