270H Church History: The Development of Denominations

Today there are tens of thousands of branches of Christianity. Where did they come from? This study will trace the roots of the denominational system from the time of the New Testament to our many-faceted current structure. Protestants are not alone in the denominational splits, so the class will also cover the divisions in the Roman, Orthodox, and Oriental sects, along with a small discussion of the roots of common cults that branched off the Christian faith.
