Description

Have you ever wondered who the Missouri Synod Lutherans are? Or
why revivalism plays such a central role in American religion? This
course will offer a comprehensive introduction to the plethora of
religions in America, focusing on the historical context of the religious
landscape in the North American Continent from the seventeenth
century until today. By illuminating the crucial figures and critical
moments which have shaped our current faiths and perceptions within
the continent, the course will lead to a more nuanced approach to
dialogue and ministry in the America of today.
