Church history as an academic discipline studies the history of Christianity and the way the Christian Church has developed since its inception.
Henry Melvill Gwatkin defined church history as "the spiritual side of the history of civilized people ever since our Master's coming". A. M. Renwick, however, defines it as an account of the Church's success and failure in carrying out Christ's Great Commission. Renwick suggests a fourfold division of church history into missionary activity, church organization, doctrine and "the effect on human life".
Church history is often, but not always, studied from a Christian perspective. Writers from different Christian traditions will often highlight people and events particularly relevant to their own denominational history. Catholic and Orthodox writers often highlight the achievements of the ecumenical councils, while evangelical historians may focus on the Protestant Reformation and the Great Awakenings.
An interesting documentary about the first 1000 years of one of the most important religions in the World: Christianity.
All of Church History in 45 Minutes! Michael and Tim present to the Oklahoma regional meeting of Gospel Coalition pastors. Church History is usually not taught in local churches throughout the world. It's typically communicated in a boring way or tries to cover too much ground. So most Christians don't know where we've come from...without knowing our past we don't have the roots of all the great triumphs, failures, heroes and villains. For a more in depth treatment for small group study, Check out our 4 session DVD with workbook. Join us as we journey through the martyrs, St. Augustine and his fight with Pelagius, the early Creeds and Councils, the rise of the Roman Catholic church, the Great Reformation, and the Scopes Monkey Trial.

Went just over 90 minutes today on the program, wandering about a bit at the start on church history issues and Ignatius, and then moving on to discuss the Andy Stanley comments in the interview with Russell Moore, finishing off with a half hour plus walk-through of 1 Corinthians 1:18ff. Theology matters!

I made this video for a brief history overview of Church History, highlighting major events. I hope to encourage the study the mentioned events on a more specific and in depth level. Many of these event are not necessarily directly related to the Church (Fall of Rome, The Black Death, etc) and some are directly of the Church (Councils, heretical movements, Edicts). What is in common is that all of these events would have played a major role in how the Church functioned in society. Through all these important historic events the Church has survived undefiled in doctrine. She has had high points; Edict of Milan, Scholasticism, Councils. She has also had her low points; dark ages, schisms, bad Popes. Yet, the Church has always been, and always will be, the beloved bride of Christ. As always I...
