The course "Christianity, An Introduction" (TEO D01, 30 ECTS) explores the origins and varieties of Christianity throughout the world today. It traces Christianity’s development from a local group of Jesus followers to a worldwide movement of faith communities, the formation of Christian doctrines and identities and the emergence and reception of the Bible as Christian Scriptures.

TEO D01 is offered entirely through internet communication technology, providing maximal accessibility and independence of location. You can enroll in the course from anywhere on the globe.

The Centre for Theology and Religious Studies (CTR) at Lund University is committed to the highest standards of academic excellence; its faculty is completely independent of confessional or religious affiliations. If you are looking for an approach to the subject that is non-confessional yet sympathetic, that combines a Religious Studies perspective with a familiarity with faith contexts, you will find this to be the course of your choice.
