Often considered one of the sparks that ignited the Reformation,
the place of "works" in the Christian life is still debated. In
this volume distinguished theologian Thomas Oden draws together
Christian teaching from across the centuries to provide a
comprehensive witness on this essential topic.
Oden listens to the timeless teaching of the patristic writers,
the theologians who defined orthodoxy in the first five centuries
after Christ. His listening extends not only to well-known fathers
such as Augustine, Irenaeus, and Eusebius, but also to lesser-known
yet no less important fathers such as Oecumenius, Pseudo-Basil, and
Peter Chrysologus. Oden's masterly compendium of classic Christian
teaching covers treatment of the poor, the outcast, the imprisoned,
and "the least of these." Anyone involved in any ministry of
compassion will find stunning spiritual resources here.
