Does it matter how Christians in other times and places thought? If
the Bible alone is God?s revelation, why spend time studying church
history? Aren?t history and tradition more of a problem than a
solution? For many Christians who believe the Bible is the ultimate
authority for faith and life, questions about the role and value of
the church's traditions can be difficult to tackle. But let's be
honest: even those of us who admit that church history is important
are often too intimidated or busy to delve into it deeply. And for
students, it is sometimes difficult to see how church history
matters in practical ways for future vocations inside and outside
the contemporary church. In this wide-ranging book, veteran teacher
Bob Rea tackles these barriers to understanding and embracing the
significance of the faith and practice of our spiritual
forefathers. In three parts he covers how Christians understand
church tradition, why it is beneficial to broaden our horizons of
community and how tradition helps us understand ministry. Rea not
only skillfully explains why church history matters-he shows why it
should matter to us.
