What people are saying
western christianity
Good teachers Everthing A good survey of Western Christianity taught in an engaging manner.
I had some knowledge of the subject from a particular viewpoint but I found I gained a broader understanding and more complete perspective on the development of Western Christianity through this course.
I did learn a lot about Western Christianity Muito bom.
Excellent thousand foot view of roughly 1400 years of Western Christianity, covering a huge number of critical events.
Clear explanation how western christianity developed I enjoyed the notes, the references the videos and professor.
My only caveats: I did think that there was a bit of a gap in coverage of the early centuries of Christianity as the official religion of the Empire, and I thought there was some downplaying here and there of the darker sides of Catholic and Protestant versions of Western Christianity.

so much
Thank you so much for creating it and making it available to us!
The material was presented well and I learned so much about the subject matter.
I have enjoyed Professor Gordon's class so much and could repeat it several times and still not absorb the vast amount of information that he has spent so many hours sharing with us.
amazing I enjoyed this course so much!!
!Thank you so much for offering this!
Thank you so much for carrying this course without any boring figures in middle.
I learned so much and feel like I've been on an amazing journey that encouraged me to branch out and learn more about some of the covered topics.

development of christianity
Following the development of Christianity along its historical timeline within the regional and political context of each period clarifies the "hows" and "whys" of why it developed as it did.
This course provided a good overview of the development of Christianity, warts and all, from the 3rd century to the middle of the 17th century.

la historia
Fue un curso genial, sin embargo con una visión parcializada de la historia de la iglesia.
Lo recomiendo para todo aquel que le guste la historia antigua y los temas del la religión.
Hace reflexionar sobre la historia del Cristianismo, en variados ámbitos: espiritual, político, sacramental, colonial, etc.
Quiero expresar mis felicitaciones por el curso, fue un buen repaso por la historia medieval, abordado con mucha seriedad desde diferentes contextos, filosofía, teología, historia, arte y lleno de apreciaciones personales que enriquecen el curso.muchas gracias.

great deal
All in all, however, it was fascinating and I learned a great deal.
I learned a great deal about a subject I had some awareness of.
Good course for basic foundations of Christianity I took this essentially as a refresher course, but I learned a great deal above and beyond that, and it exceeded my expectations.

rather than
I often read the transcripts of his videos rather than listen to his voice.
I rated it four stars rather than five however because I missed interactivity.

dr. gordon
My suggested would be to make this aspect of the course as compelling as Dr. Gordon's presentations by enhancing interactivity through stimulation of topics and active engagement.
Loved it!Thank you Dr. Gordon, Nazanin and Max, for your time and talent.

from yale
Also, it would have been nice to have more dynamic videos like I've seen in other courses from Yale via Coursera.
I expect higher standards from Yale university., I felt it spend too much time on the catholic reformation and not enough on the Protestant reformation.
