Course Description
This course aims to be an approach to Modern Church history from 1492 to the conclusion of the Second Vatican Council. It will give special emphasis to the moments that made up the Church along these centuries and constituted it as we know it today: the Reformation, Council of Trent, missionary work in America, Asia and Africa or the two Vatican Councils, not forgetting to mention all the moments between these great dates that marked a milestone in ecclesiology or theology
