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 and Thomas Aquinas. Each chapter
begins with a brief biography and some background, then surveys
each theologian's major work or works, gives a timeline for
historical context, and ends with guidance for further reading.
'Full of interest and totally scintillating.' Greg Haslam,
Westminster Chapel 'An important book, wonderfully written.' Steve
Holmes, University of St Andrews 'A very readable introduction to
many of the key figures and works of the early church.' Tony Lane,
London School of Theology
