Impact of Church through History: Home

Church history is far more than just a collection of past events. It’s a powerful narrative of faith, perseverance, conflict, and transformation. The story of Christianity is built on key moments that have shaped not only the Church but also the world.

Next to the Apostle Paul, Augustine is probably the most influential theologian for western Christians.

The Catholic Church was the single most powerful institution in medieval Europe. From the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century until the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, the Church dominated nearly every aspect of European society. It shaped politics, economics, education, art, and everyday life for centuries.
