The Work We Have To Do by Mark A. Noll and 100 Most Important Events in Christian History by Curtis, Lang, and Peterson were both written to educate the readers on the history of the Church. For Noll, he began in England, but he primarily wrote about the history of the Protestant church in America whereas Curtis, Lang, and Peterson created a timeline of, what they thought, were the most important dates in the world wide Church. If the reader was seeking a basic overview of Christianity, the 100 Most Important Events in Christian History would be the book to pick up. On the other hand, if the reader wanted to know what American Protestantism was, Noll’s book, The Work We Have To Do would suffice. These books cannot be used interchangeably because one lacks what the other has.
Throughout these early years of 64 through 451, the church and Christians were suffering greatly from persecution. However, though these acts of persecution were unbearably horrible, the trails and suffering caused Christianity to spread rapidly as men and women began to seek freedom. As Christianity spread, as did Christian literature; books and writings, including the New Testament canon started to have influence on the culture. During this time, as the popularity of

As the Church began to change and progress, men began creating Christian works of art such as Handel’s Messiah and Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel painting. Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door, and Gutenberg and Wycliffe published and translated Bibles. The King James Bible was published in 1611, and Bibles were being made available for common people rather than only for aristocrats. While these great advances were happening in England, men and women wanted to be free from the heresy that was also taking place. In 1620, the Pilgrims arrived in America to seek a better life and religious
Christianity during the early century was very difficult for many Christians. As many Christians were persecuted for not worshipping pagan gods.
As a religious/philosophical system, Christianity is one of the most prominent on Earth today. From 30A.D. to 1000A.D., Christianity had undergone some of its most vigorous changes while maintaining its core qualities through the Apostolic/Ante-Nicene Period, the First Seven Ecumenical Councils, and the Middle Ages.
For the completion of Journal One, the five key terms that I have implemented directly or indirectly from Chapter Three are argument, explanation, opinion, joining words and conclusion, in my writing summary of Nathan Yan’s article titled, AP Courses- Mounting Burden, Declining Benefit. First, the usage of the term explanation was directly implemented in the Mini-Writing Assignment Two, as Yan (n.d.) argues that AP courses places a heavier amount of emphasis on AP students passing AP exams; rather than helping AP students focus on the AP courses’ subject materials and information (p. 67). Second, when writing the Mini- Writing Assignment Two, I directly acknowledged that aside from the author’s explanation of eliminating AP exams, Yan’s argument
Christian life during the third century was a constant mix of small local persecution and continually being held as the scapegoats for any problem that occurred within the society.

The Dunham Bible Museum possesses many unique and rare artifacts that are not only important to our nation’s history but also vital to the history of Christianity. One artifact that touched my heart the most and is the most exclusive item in the museum was the Francis Bailey New Testament, which is the only known complete copy of the earliest English Testament printed in the United States of America. Although this artifact may hold a huge amount of significance to historians, Americans, and most importantly Christians, many people are unaware of the facts and stories behind the book that I will explain through this paper such as the artifact as a physical object, its historical context, and why it should be kept in a museum.
From the third to the fourth century, the Roman Empire witnessed a widespread attempt to stop the spread of Christianity. Initially, leaders of the church were predominately targeted, but later anyone admitting to Christianity became a target. The persecutions hit a climax during Diocletian’s reign. These persecutions actually helped the spread of Christianity by glorifying Christians and beginning a tradition of martyrdom that shaped the Church, and the strength that Christians displayed shows that the persecutions could not have possible stopped the spread of Christianity.
In contrast to the persecution experienced by early Christian followers, Christianity today does not experience the level of outward persecution. Christianity is practiced in an atmosphere nearly void of violence. It was not until the reign of Constantine when Christians were authorized to practice their chosen faith. The “Ediet of Milan”(313 A.D.), gave official recognition to the Christian faith, thus ending persecution within the Roman Empire. Before Constantine’s rule, there were many rulers eager to drive out the Christians. The Emperor Trajan (98-117 A.D.) established the first official policy relating to Christians and how they should be dealt with. Diocletion and the Apologists were the last of the persecutors in this era before Constantine. This marked the end of open persecution
Kings and Queens had so much power but all of their power came from the church. Many people believed that the Kings and Queens tried to rule with enlightened ideas, but the towns and church people didn't like that. They also thought it was God's will that they be beheaded because they thought they were being not good. Therefor causing the King and Queen to be overthrown and beheaded like Marie Annqunett and her husband. Many art was influenced by religion. Although I am not sure if the artist were Christians, their art work did reflect christianity. Art as well as books showed religion, which also lead to more people learning to read. People wanted to read the bible for themselves and so it drove people to learn to read as well. Many of
In conclusion, Christianity spread because of the guidance influenced by love, the courage of the martyrs that were willingly persecuted, and the overall teachings that appealed to the plebeians. These reasons and many more aided in the popularity of Christianity in the contemporary lifestyle of the everyday American. In brief, this was why this religion that had just been born developed into what it is
And modernity idea was composed and relatives by the T.S Eliot, Ernest Hemingway through the poem. We all can saw their poem and relate the modernism through the poem. For the development of the modernism author explain the development of modernism.” T.S Eliot” describe the modernism through his poem “Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” we can saw the modernism in this poem describe the clarification of the labored soul of the ideal modern man which was an overeducated, anxious and sensitively affected.

The history of how the Bible came into existence has been explored for centuries and is an active area of study today. There are many facets to the Bible and each has its own set of unique characteristics and teachings. The Old Testament is considered a contemporary guide for daily living, even though it was composed hundreds of years ago. Where did the Old Testament come from? What are some of the influences that shaped the Old Testament? What are the significant events of the Old Testament? In order to gain a better understanding of the Old Testament and its message to Christians, special consideration is given to its historical and cultural context, and to the major milestones in its development. Personal application of the teachings offered in this section of the Bible should be the aspiration of all Christians today.
Our national obligation. On the off chance that we didn't have such a huge obligation, we wouldn't need to pay so much expenses. A result of no national obligation is the economy would be vastly improved. To take care of this issue, we have to have a president who knows how to decide. One of our most serious issues in the matter of national obligation is we go and explode the Center East for little reason, then we go over yonder to remake all that we just exploded. The U.S. offers to help individuals revamp in different nations, notwithstanding when we truly don't have the cash we offer. National obligation is a substantial issue in the U.S. furthermore, dependably will be. This issue I feel affects
