Introduction
The study of church history covers a very broad spectrum. Since history deals with the past to the present or the study of the past in relation to the present in order to project the future, the church history deals with a two thousand year study of how the Church began up to the present time.

In view of the large scope of this course and in view of the limited time available, emphasis will be on the events that prepared the way for the Church, the birth and history of the early church. We shall also limit our discussion on the origin, growth and expansion of the Church. This will be based on the Bible especially the Acts of the Apostles, the Persecution, death of the disciples of Jesus Christ, the period of the Apostolic Fathers, the rise of Monasticism, the period of the Protestant Reformation and the development of the Church, finishing with its evaluation.
