500 Years From Martin Luther to Joel Osteen
Sean Finnegan
This is a 15 lecture class narrating the tale of church history from Martin Luther to Joel Osteen, covering the years 1500 to 2000.
500 years ago, there was only one Christian denomination throughout most of the world. 500 years ago, the church and the government killed those who resisted tradition. 500 years ago, no one could read the Bible in their own language.
How did we get from there to here? Discover the wild and exciting story of Christianity for the last 500 years, so you can understand how the world ended up the way it is now, avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, and gain inspiration from heroic people who made a difference.
