This course illuminates such religious developments as the English Reformation, Bible translation, nonconformity, Methodism, and British hymnody. It provides an overview of English Christianity from its inception to the present while discussing important works of literature. A part of this course includes the study of the Shakespearean tragedy Macbeth.Please note that this DVD is listed below but is not included in the Home School Kit.
