CHST 676 - History of Evangelism in US America

3 credits
This seminar explores the historical patterns of “great awakenings” in North America and their cultural and social impact on USAmerican Christianity. Particular attention will be given to the fluctuating relationship between religion and reform. Various contemporary “movements of the Spirit” will be examined and explored (e.g. charismatic and “third wave” evangelism, media religion and cyberchurch, seeker-sensitive churches, alternative worship, “The New Reformation/Reformission”), and contemporary practices of evangelism will be investigated in terms of their impact on postmodern cultures and emerging churches.
