If you’ve ever wished you knew more about the events of the Protestant Reformation and how the Reformation produced the contemporary Protestant church, CH102 is for you. This course dispels popular misconceptions of Martin Luther’s intentions, and it provides a close look at Luther’s call from God which led him out of the monastery, his teaching on sola fide, and his eventual excommunication. Dr. James teaches you how to distinguish between Luther, the Swiss Reformers (including John Calvin, the “accidental reformer”), and the so-called Radical Reformers. He also provides a helpful explanation of the Council of Trent, the formation of the Jesuits, and the Catholic Counter-Reformation.

Dr. James then helps you navigate the historical and theological developments that led to Arminianism, English Puritanism, and Puritanism in New England. Learn how the spiritual decline in England led to John Wesley’s Methodism, the English Revival, and the Great Awakening in America, and get an in-depth look at Christianity in the modern era. After this course, you will be able to articulate how even through all of the twists and turns of the past 2,000 years, God is still working in the modern church.

True church history is nothing like what any author of any book (except the Bible) even knows. Church history in many ways parallels what happened in ancient Israel. That is as far as their loyalty and dedication to God. Read about the seven churches in Revelation. Christ finds fault with all of them but two, Smyrna and Philadelphia. These seven churches are the history, present and future of the true church of God. Today the last three exist and in the near future will be reduced to two.
Someday every secret thing will be revealed and when that day comes many will be shocked to find out what the history of the true church really was.
