  • The Persecution of Christians
  • Although the movement of Christianity was small there was one person that was considered to be the most important person after Jesus, Paul the Apostle.

  • The Church began to change rapidly after the persecution of Christians. One big event that occurred was the Conversion of Constantine.

  • The Birth of Islam and the Oriental Church
  • The Controversy of Arianism came into play when it was said that only the Father was eternal and the son and word are not. It attempted to preserve monotheism and the immutability of God.
  • The Great Schism of 1054 AD
  • After the problems with Arianism occurred the Council of Nicea was called by Constantine to reexamine the thoughts. They talked about the beliefs of Arianism. The Nicene Creed was created to signify the equality with the Son and the Father.

  • Monasticism reform a Corrupt Church
  • As Christianity continued to spread, it reached Islam, this is known as the Birth the Islam. Islam conquered the most important areas of ancient Christianity, Jerusalem, Alexandria and Carnage.

  • The Crusades

  • The Decline of the Papacy
  • Because of Christianity spreading, people wanted to take over land. The Crusades were carried out to regain the Holy Land from the Muslims, but most were ineffective. By the end of the 4th crusade, Western Christians had taken over Constantinople and took it from the Eastern Christians. As the church was corrupt the looks of the buildings began to change.
  • Reformers and Mystics Start Early Reform
  • Gothic churches began to replace Basilicas, ancient basilicas had more of a “Romanesque” look, while Gothic churches had high ceilings and many windows. People debated on whether this change brought more people into the church or made the church more corrupt because of all the money being spent on the buildings.

  • This era tried to get at the idea of peace. The Thirty Years war lasted from 1618 to 1648. The Peace of Augsburg was created to give each country a choice of religion, but the peace did not last. After the Protestant Reformation ended there were very few outcomes.

  • “Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”

  • THE END
  • The Conservative-Liberal Divide was the issue of liberals believing that fundamentalists were too intolerant and old-fashioned. They focused on conversion over and against the issues of social justice.
  • When the churches began in America they also spread to the rest of the world. Almost all non-western Christians are pentecostal today. This was known as the Growth of Non-Western Christianity. Churches began to self theologize and became self lead.
  • Karl Barth rejected the conservative forms of Christianity, he instead embarked a new theological path called dialectical theology. He then became a leader in the confessing church in Germany.
  • There was then a response by the Conservative Protestants to write the “Five Fundamentals” and it became a trend. They embraced the beliefs but opposed some of the things stated like evolution.
