Historical Theology (Dr. Allison): Ecclesiology in Modern Period (583ff.)

In the 19th and 20th centuries, various religious movements and organizations emerged. Methodism, liberalism, the World Council of Churches, the National Association of Evangelicals, and Anglo-Catholics (who were Anglicans who adopted more Romanist practices) were some of these movements. Megachurches also began to appear, and new forms of mass media, such as television and radio, played a role in spreading religious messages. Vatican 1 and 2, as well as the 1994 Catholic Catechism, impacted Catholicism during this time. Pentecostalism emerged as a new form of Christianity, and the emergent churches also gained popularity. Recently, younger individuals from the Baptist and Pentecostal communities have been drawn to neo-traditionalist movements like "TradCaths" and "OrthoBros" due to a desire for historical roots.
