Shapers of Christian Orthodoxy
Engaging With Early And Medieval Theologians
Irenaeus. Tertullian. Origen. Athanasius. The Cappadocians. Augustine. Anselm. Aquinas. This book examines these vital figures in church history.
The purpose of this volume is threefold: to introduce a selection of key early and medieval theologians; to strengthen the faith of evangelical Christians by helping them to understand the riches of the church's theological reflection; and to help them learn how to think theologically.
These essays offer insightful analysis of and commentary on each theologian, along with some critical assessment of how evangelicals should view and appropriate his insights. The contributors' intention is the cultivation of minds 'fired by the grace of our creator and saviour' (Augustine), so that we might think well and rightly about our good and great God and live in his light.
