Professor Tom Greggs introduces the course "From Jesus to Calvin: The History of Christian Thought"

Professor Tom Greggs tells us a bit about the course "From Jesus to Calvin: The History of Christian Thought". How did the Jesus movement turn into the church? At what point did the church decide Jesus was God? How can God be one and three? What is heresy and why did it matter? How did Christianity relate to surrounding philosophy? Did theology develop and change? What were the sources for Christian thought and doctrine? The course introduces students to these questions through the rich history of Christian thought by considering a number of representative theological thinkers, such as Origen, Athanasius, Augustine, Anselm, Aquinas, Luther and Calvin.
