Looking for a timeline of Christain thought...

[stech1]

I am sorry to devote an entire thread to this, but I am looking for a time line of Christian thought, particularly from the Reformation to the present. I am looking for the major thinkers and their ideas in sort of a historical manner. I am not sure if you'd have to categorize this based upon different provinces, such as German theologians, American, etc. For instance, what was the next major school of thought after or contemporary with Bultmann's New Testament demythologizing and his existential view of theology, etc?

I hope I have posed this question in an understandable way. Web references would be great, but any book or journal recommendations are fine too.

I guess the next major school of thought was the reactionary debunking of form criticism by the historical school of believers which stressed that much of the bible could anyway be proven from Archaelogy etc. Its more a case of his work being absorbed into the general body of scientific opinion, rather than being succeeded by any radical new idea (I think).

Not quite sure if Bultmann was a Christian.

Well Undead, why stop at the Reformation? That took place only about 500 years ago. Christianity has been around for 2000 years.
There are two statements that I believe.
1) Protestants of all denominations do not know history at all.
2) If a Protestant honestly studies history to the best of his ability, he becomes Catholic.

Try reading "The History of Christendom" in five volumes. Each volume has a slightly different title. Written by Warren Carroll and published by Christendon College Press.
Another good history book would be "How the Reformation Happened" by Hilaire Belloc. Published by Tan.

I just googled "timeline" AND "christianity" and found loads of stuff.

Or Orthodox.

[themuzicman]

Of course, then he studies the theology of the RCC, and becomes protestant again.

Oh.. then you look at the 7th council of the EO, and THEN you go protestant... sorry

Something wrong with icons? You an iconoclast or something?

[themuzicman]

Icons, no. "Veneration" of icons, yes.

Well, that only shows your lack of understanding on the matter. You think I'm worshiping an icon when I venerate it?

Oh, THAT's why the Reformation happened in the 9th century!

You guys really want to get into this ? I'll split it off into Ecclesiology if you want to keep going.

Who knows? Maybe we may as well split it into another thread in case we do decide to keep going.
