Historical Theology
100 LEVEL COURSES
Required Courses
HIT 130 HISTORY OF THE EARLY CHURCH
This course introduces the student to the discipline of church history and offers an introduction
to the life and thought of the Early Church. Emphasis is given to the emergence of
institutional, theological and ethical patterns in the light of the contemporary social,
cultural and intellectual environment. The student is introduced to the thought of major early
fathers—Justin, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Origen, Cyprian, Athanasius and others. Attention is
also given to the theological controversies and church councils of the 4th and 5th centuries
which determined the formation of Christian belief.
HIT 131 HISTORY OF THE MEDIEVAL CHURCH
This course offers a survey of the history of the Christian Church from the Patristic to the
Reformation. Attention is given to the transformation of antiquity to the Middle Ages,
including the topics of the rise of Byzantium, the Teutonic invasions, the rise of Islam and
the development of early Europe. Distinctly medieval realities such as Scholasticism and the
evolution of the papal office receive emphasis. Also studied are medieval monastic, conciliar
and reform movements.
