COURSE DESCRIPTION A survey of the background, development, personalities, issues and results of the evangelicalism from New Testament times to the present. Emphasis is given to evangelicalism in the life and ministry of Jesus and the Apostles. Attention will be given to evangelicalism of the medieval period, the Reformation in Europe, the Pietism in Germany, the Great Awakening in England and America, and more recent revivals of evangelicalism. II. RATIONALE The movements of evangelicalism through the ages were misunderstood by many as a fanatic or heretic. In recent years, however, students through the aid of historiography have begun to appreciate what the evangelicalism means and stands for. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to these movements of evangelicalism which have long been misunderstood by many, and to show them what they believed and practiced, and why they were persecuted, and what influence they had upon the people, society and His Church, so that they may not only appreciate the principles, doctrines and practices of the evangelicalism which were thoroughly biblical, but also apply them in their own ministry.
