The unit explores the origins and development of the orthodox and catholic tradition through historical study of the
early church (70-451AD) and briefly surveys Christian developments through the middle ages. It traces the history
of Christianity beyond the period studied in New Testament 1. It will assist the graduate in, developing an
appreciation of primary sources, knowledge of the key developments of the period, capacity for historical research,
and a greater self-understanding within the Catholic tradition. The purpose of this unit is to enable students to engage with the orthodox, catholic tradition in an informed and
self-critical manner, evaluating against the norm of biblical revelation.
