The History of the Church

Paper Summary:

Over the history of the church, since the days of Jesus Christ, many events and people have chartered the course for the church we know today. This paper examines persecutions, reformers, the translation of the Bible, evangelism, the doctrine of the equality of all believers and revivals and shows how they shaped the church over time. The paper also discusses the influence and attitudes of Western society on the Christian church.

From the Paper:

"In the first century A.D. it was easy for the general populace to believe Nero when he accused Christians of causing the Great Fire in Rome because Christians were thought of as haters of the human race. Theologian Harold O. J. Brown sees similarities between that attitude and the attitude of people toward Christians today in America. (2) So, for example, objections to homosexuality draw charges of hate mongering. When a homosexual is murdered, the finger of blame is pointed at Christians for creating a "climate of hate." Attempts at saving the lives of the unborn are portrayed as attempts to make life difficult for women in crisis."
