A Cloud of Witnesses: Ten Great Christian Thinkers

Description

"You are in a Bible study, with a group of people. You are all studying the same passage. And someone points out something that you hadn't noticed before. New light is suddenly shed on familiar material. And you realize that, left to yourself, you'd have missed that. "Other people help us understand both Scripture and our faith more deeply. It helps to study Scripture and think about the gospel in good company -- and this book aims to put you in good company as you think through some key areas of the Christian faith. "Reading about the great Christian thinkers of the past is like being at a really good Bible study. They can help you think through things you may have been puzzled by. They can cast new light on a familiar scriptural passage. They can inspire with their testimonies. They can stretch your thinking, helping you wrestle with important questions which you ought to think through at some point. What better way to begin, than to be introduced to a classic discussion of such questions?" --from the Introduction Review: I've learned so much about early fathers. - I am thrilled to have this book. Easy to understand but deep. Wonderful history of some who went before us in following Christ. Review: Tremendous insight! - Dr. McGrath is one of the great apologists for the Christian faith. This quick, but deep read demonstrates both intellectual clarity as well as integrity to the faith. McGrath makes the history of the faith foundational to a successful relationship with Christianity.
