This course will explore Christianity in light of cultural distortions and the Kingdom of God. We will examine the modern-day church and how greatly it has been impacted by the historical watersheds of history, beginning with Romanization, followed by Europeanization, Colonization, Westernization, and Americanization of the gospel. The influences of these historical epochs have greatly altered the original message of Jesus and the Kingdom of God in its Jewish context. The church continued to develop but became less Jewish in its interpretation of scripture and more European in its practices and images. This course will also revisit some doctrinal distortions and examine the dispensations of the church and its reformations to help to provide insight and enlightenment into the abuses of the watersheds and the power that the pure gospel of the Kingdom of God offers.
