CHURCHRODENT: R. A. TATUM'S GLOSSARY OF CHURCH HISTORY [revised 8/96]
http://www.dialnet.net/users/rtatum/glossary/
Here is a very handy reference tool in the form of a simplified short Chistian History provided in glossary form. The documentation is supported by a simple, yet effective, indexing scheme that makes the information easily and quickly found. Entries are well-written, and open to future editing sessions and critique. Started as the only course requirement for a correspondence course, R.A. Tatum enrolled in for the Spring of 1992 (Southwestern Assemblies of God College, now SAGU). The sole course assignment required him to take the entire index of Bruce Shelley's Christian History in Plain Language and write a paragraph defining each item. That index came in three parts: People, Events, and Movements. That format was not selected for this site for various reasons. Finally, but not least, one visits this site with the idea of chasing down a definition, and finds a comfortable place to visit as well. There is a wonderful graphic of Rich Tatum's photograph of the Cross in a distant sunset, and the quiet self-effacing humor that we are convinced is a part of the energy behind faith and motivation that makes this ongoing project doable. Recommended.
