| | History Of Christianity |
 | | History of Christianity -- With this cultural and religious backdrop, the ministry of Jesus began. | | | Christianity started about 2000 years ago in Judea (present-day Israel) with Jesus Christ and His faithful group of disciples. | | | Though most of the historical record for the start of the Christian faith is recorded in the New Testament accounts, the history of Christianity actually began with prophecy in the Old Testament. |

| | On the History of Early Christianity |
| | The only Christian point is the great stress laid on the imminent reign of Christ and the glory of the faithful, particularly the martyrs who have risen from the dead. | | | We therefore see that the Christianity of that time, which was still unaware of itself, was as different as heaven from earth from the later dogmatically fixed universal religion of the Nicene Council; one cannot be recognized in the other. | | | Like the latter, Christianity was originally a movement of oppressed people: it first appeared as the religion of slaves and emancipated slaves, of poor people deprived of all rights, of peoples subjugated or dispersed by Rome. |

| | The rise of Christianity from a persecuted sect to a global religion is a remarkable story of guts, faith, chance, politics and Providence. | | | Pagan beliefs still abounded and Christianity was a minority faith. | | | Christians were forced to meet and worship in secret. |

| | History of Christianity in Korea: From Its Troubled Beginning to |
| | This aspect of the history of Christian missions is noteworthy, because it was the Koreans themselves who initiated and performed many functions of the church. | | | The Japanese government also stipulated that the teaching of religion, i.e., Christianity, and the practice of religious services were not to be allowed at school. | | | Unlike many other lands, where the Christian religion was first brought by foreign missionaries, in Korea, it began with a kind of "self-study" (self-directed study) of Christian literature by the natives. |

| | Christian History |
| | Many Christian denominations teach that they alone are the true church. | | | There is one history taught by religious historians which is based on the documents of the time -- including the few books that made it into the Bible and the hundreds of others that were excluded. | | | One is forced to talk about the "histories" of Christianity rather than of the "history" of the religion. |

| | Boundless-A True History of Christianity |
| | What's most significant is that the idea of Holy War didn't stick among Christians; it went largely dormant for centuries, was resurrected for a time in European religious wars between Christians and eventually provoked a backlash that began a Christian movement toward tolerance in Europe and spread to the American colonies. | | | They show that Christians, though sometimes impeding science, have far more often advanced the discipline based on their religious fascination with God's creation. | | | Soldiers in the Middle Ages were regularly urged to hate the sin, not the sinner. |

| | Christians believe, and most scholars agree, that Jesus was an actual historical figure, and a quite intriguing personality. | | | In its first three centuries, the Christian church endured persistent and often severe persecution at the hands of the Roman authorities. | | | Within 20 years of Jesus' death, his followers had spread the Christian faith as far as Rome. |

| | Consideration will then be given to the development of Christianity as a religion, including theological, doctrinal, and institutional development, the rise of Eastern and Western Christianity, the development of monasticism, the Church in the Middle Ages, the rivalry between the Church and the State, and the Protestant Reformation. | | | This course will deal with the history of the Christian religion. | | | Simply because you have never heard of, or been exposed to, aspects of the actual history of the Church, does not mean that these things do not exist. |

| | History of Christianity in China |
| | The evolution of religions in China, however, being influenced by Ancestor Worship, Taoism and Confucianism was quite complicated. | | | Since Buddhism in China is well addressed and documented on the internet, it is our intention to focus on another religion in China, namely, Christianity. | | | The Fourth attempt which began in 1806 and ended around 1956, had moderate success, but it helped to spark the Anti-Christian Movement in the 1920's. |

| | The sociology of Christian formation, worship and devotion will be placed in a broad cultural context, and proper attention will be paid throughout to issues of spirituality and the spiritual content of Christianity's development. This is not a history merely of Western Christianity. | | | Into the study of the early church and beyond, consideration of Eastern and Coptic Christianity will be properly integrated; and later, African, Far Eastern, New World, South Asian and other non-European developments in Christianity will receive proper coverage. | | | The relations between Christianity and Islam, Christianity and Hinduism, and Christianity and Judaism will be kept in sight. |
