How Christian doctrine, worship, and authority evolved across centuries
Tracing the Church Through Time
This cluster moves from early and medieval Christianity—seen in the life of St. Gregory of Narek and the origins of Lent—to the upheavals of the Reformation, highlighting English reformers like Tyndale and their lasting cultural impact. It also explores how non-canonical writings (the apocrypha) have quietly shaped Christian imagination and tradition. Modern Catholic history appears through articles on the Crusades, papal authority, Vatican II, and ecumenism, culminating in Cardinal Müller’s reflections on the Reformation as he urges traditionalist groups to work for renewal from within the Church. Together, these pieces show a living tradition that wrestles with continuity, reform, and the sources of Christian authority.
