Understanding the past is often a key to understanding and valuing the present. This truism is especially important for Christians who belong to a line of faith stretching back into the annals of history.
In brief but eminently readable chapters, Garry Williams introduces us to the rich heritage that belongs to every Christian believer. Williams, insightfully and colourfully, highlights the theological and spiritual contributions to the church of some of its most eminent servants, Augustine, Tyndale, Calvin, Owen and Edwards.
