This second required course in Church history focuses on Christianity after the 16 th Century, a period launched through discovery/colonization of the Western Hemisphere. The churches sought ways to stay relevant as nation states emerged. All the big ‘isms’ at play in our societies today have their counterparts fully on display and can be productively studied. Nationalism, colonialism, slavery, industrialization, migration, commercialization, and democratization shaped for good and ill the relationships between peoples and land in diverse ways, making the Christianity that developed a window into these complex dynamics. Christianity in more recent times has experienced explosive growth outside the West. North American Christians can no longer understand Christianity unless they have developed a world encompassing framework. Fulfills MDiv History 2: Globalizing Christianity requirement, or MA Academic track/MA Prof. track (Public Leadership specialization)/MAPL Church History requirement, or Free elective. [No Prerequisites].
Christianity is growing around the world. How and why--and what might recognizing this growth mean for ministry and service in North America in the 21st century? This course attends to phenomena such as the emergence of Protestantism and the end of "Christendom," colonialism and post-colonial thought and practices, ecumenical and interfaith initiatives, emerging women's and indigenous leadership, and Christianity in Africa, Latin America, Asia and the continuities and changes in preaching, liturgy, and relations between church and state within and across contexts.

Fulfills MDiv/MA Academic track/MA Prof. (Public Leadership specialization). Church History 2: Globalizing Christianity requirement, or Free elective. [No prerequisites].
