Continuation of TF 701. This two-course sequence invites students to read the world historically, theologically, and sociologically through the lens of Christian traditions. In studying challenges faced by communities of faith, both past and present, students acquire an understanding of the basic theological categories and frameworks that have guided Christians through the ages, gain an overview of the chronology of Christian history, and learn the arts of thick contextual description and analysis. MDIV & MTS CORE REQUIREMENT.
