History of Ecumenism

This course provides a historical study of the question of unity and the attempts at reunion after the Reformation, with the purpose of understanding contemporary conditions of institutional dividedness and competing visions for the unity of the church. Disagreements over the key controversy of authority in formulating Christian doctrine are studied, as well as contributions toward its resolution. Rather than cause for the “scandal of disunity,” the Reformation is interpreted as a universal achievement in the development of Christian doctrine.This course can be credited as a Theology elective
