Is 'newer' really 'better'? We often assume so, but if we do treat
the past as inferior, we will ignore the legacy of history, and
thus will find ourselves stranded on the tiny desert island of our
own moment in time. In particular, this applies to Christian
theology, which should be thought, and lived, corporately by the
church down through the ages. The remedy to 'chronological
snobbery' is, as C. S. Lewis put it, 'to keep the clean sea breeze
of the centuries blowing through our minds'. Such is the motivation
behind Michael Reeves' introduction to a selection of influential
or significant Christian theologians. This accessible and
informative volume covers the Apostolic Fathers, Justin Martyr and
Irenaeus, Athanasius, Augustine, Anselm, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin,
Owen, Edwards, Schleiermacher, Barth and Packer. Each chapter
begins with a brief biography and some background, and then surveys
each theologian's major work or works, gives a timeline for
historical context, and ends with guidance for further reading.
This book was previously available as two separate volumes (The
Breeze of the Centuries and On Giants' Shoulders), but now
repackaged together with a new chapter on J I Packer.
