Church History: The Early Church and Ecumenical Councils
Taught by Sister Mary Jean, CSM

This class will examine the development of the Church from the close of Acts to about 500 A. D., concentrating on the formation of Christian theology, the great thinkers of the Patristic era, and the Ecumenical Councils.
