Church history describes the growth of God’s kingdom on earth starting with Jesus and his disciples in Jerusalem to the emergence of a global religion with countless followers from all nations. In this series, we’ll explore the growth and development of the church throughout history from the time of the apostles to the time of the Reformation. In the process, we’ll see the development of Christian theology, especially as God worked providentially in the church to clarify the Bible’s teaching on Trinitarian theology during the time of the church councils and soteriology during the time of the Reformation.
