Church History

In this series of 31 audio lectures, the student will gain a look into the history of the church to the present time.   In doing so, we learn to appreciate the heritage we have in the heroes of the faith who have gone before, learning from their victories as well as their mistakes.  There are very few new issues that our forefathers have not faced before.  So we seek to learn from them as we address the concerns of our day in light of the way they dealt with the issues in their day.  Registered/paid students must view all lessons and complete a Final Exam in order to receive the three (3) transcript credits at which this course is valued.
