- Christianity:  One Religion or Many Faiths?
Prof. Mark Burrows
   Is there something we can confidently speak of as "Christian" amid the
crises, diversities, and challenges facing Christian communities in our
day? Christians affirm that they are worshiping one God, but (as with
many other religions) the variety of conceptions, theological styles,
and forms of piety
vary dramatically across the spectrum of churches.  Dr. Mark Burrows,
professor of the history of Christianity at Andover Newton Theological
School and a member of the joint doctoral faculty of Boston College will
address such questions in historical and theological context.
