In the fourth and final part of our church history series, we will look at how the church has changed and developed from the period immediately after the Reformation (c. 1650) with the Puritans until today. From this point, the church was no longer a unified authoritative institution that enveloped all aspects of European life, but rather moved towards diversity, globalisation, and a continuous process of interaction and collision with modern society. Studying this period will help us understand the effects of the enlightenment and theological liberalism on the church, the modern missionary movement, the charismatic movement, and how we got to the broader evangelical context we are in today.
