THEO-28100 Global Christianity

During the last three centuries, the size, global distribution and ethnic composition of world Christianity have been transformed. Most Christians now reside in the developing world, and the total number of Christians in Africa, Asia and Latin America increases daily while the Christian communities in so-called 'developed' nations are growing smaller. This course will examine the history of missionary efforts during colonization as well as the indigenous movements and Vatican II reforms that reshaped the understanding and practices of mission and inculturation of Christianity around the world. This course fulfills the General Education Catholic and Lasallian Heritage requirement for Theology 20000-level course and the Globalization requirement.
