1 Syllabus for use with: A JOURNEY THROUGH CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY, second edition, with texts and commentary from the First to the Twenty-first Centuries Introduction: This text traces the development of Christian thought from the end of the New Testament period up to and including the present age. Through the eyes, ears, and pens of many influential writers, the central message of the Christian faith/gospel may be seen in its growth and interaction with a variety of cultures. Changes may clearly be perceived as the gospel message moves from the writings of Ignatius of Antioch to the great intellectual crises of the late fourth and mid-fifth centuries issuing in the creedal statements of Nicea-Constantinople and Chalcedon. As the church develops new discussions take place regarding ecclesiastical, sacramental, and apologetic issues to cite just a few. These can be examined in this text through such writings as those of Anselm, Abelard, Bonaventure, Thomas Aquinas, and others. In succeeding centuries, the church becomes embroiled in internal debates, disputes, and corruption leading to the monumental split in the sixteenth century as a result of the protests of Luther, Calvin, Bucer, and many others. These disputes caused the fracturing of the Church into many denominations and, at the same time, engendered internal reform and renewal within Catholicism itself, e.g. The Council of Trent. Subsequent to the rise of various denominations, the churches as a group faced intellectual challenges from the outside. From the moment of Immanuel Kant s potent critiques to modern linguistic philosophy s challenge to religious language, to the powerful intellectual independence of the secular, scientific community, the Christian faith has been placed in a new and more comprehensive apologetic environment. Some of these vital issues are addressed in the final sections of this work. A SUGGESTED POSSIBLE OUTLINE FOR USING THIS WORK Parts I: The Christian Gospel Encounters the Graeco-Roman World A.
