This course is a survey of the history of the Christian religion, as expressed in the historic universal Church, including its doctrines and practices, from the beginning into the middle ages (from Jesus to Aquinas). Special emphasis is given to the first five centuries, in which the important doctrines, practices, and traditions of the faith developed. After the schism between east and west (1054) the course will focus more on the western Church.
