#081 Discovering the global Christian story - with Dr. Mark Noll
In this episode, renowned American historian Mark Noll recounts how a growing awareness of the majority world church confronted and changed his understanding of Christian history.

And how should the configuration of today's global church shape how we teach and study the history of Christianity?To learn more about Regent College and its upcoming events and courses visit:www.regent-college.edu/Regent College Podcast Thanks for listening.
