About

To read history is to meet people from the past through the stories they told, the objects they lived with, and the art they created. Telling History introduces students to Christian history through four broad case studies spanning two millennia. Along the way, students build foundational historical literacy and academic skills — including source analysis, interpretation, contextualisation, oral presentation, and essay writing — as they explore how historical narratives shape our understanding of church, faith, and community. The unit also prepares students for further study in Church History and related fields in the humanities. (see also UMS Unit: CH8001Z)
