An overview of the dramatic unfolding of the Christian church, presented by Dr Timothy George, Dean of Samford University Divinity School.

• The Early Church - its emergence from the womb of Judaism, through terrible persecution, to acceptance in the Roman world.
• The Church in the Middle Ages - universities, monasteries and museums were established. Interaction with a growing culture came alongside barbarian invasion, Crusades and the Muslim challenge.
• The Reformation - An age of discovery, great Papal power and widespread corruption. Cries for reform brought spiritual and ecclesiastical renewal.
• The Age of Reason and Piety - from the death of Luther to the conversion of John Wesley, we see a shift from ‘an age of faith’ to ‘an age of reason’.
• Christianity and the New World - a land of new beginnings, the emergence of Quakers and Puritans and a Great Awakening.
• An Age of Uncertainty - between the fall of the Bastille and the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Church moves into an uncertain world.
