A Great Cloud of Witnesses: Lessons for Modern-Day Christians from Church History

From the first century to today, Christians have eagerly pursued wisdom and knowledge of God. A hunger for the Divine exists deep in the spirit of every human being, and Christ's disciples through the ages have believed that each person's soul can be satisfied only in the active pursuit and practice of the truth as found in Scripture and the proper exegesis of its meaning. The writings of our forefathers in the faith provide the modern Church with insights that can assist us in fulfilling that profound longing for connection with the Almighty and for living a life to the His glory. Author and researcher John Steinreich opens the literary treasures of church history to help readers stand firmly on the shoulders of these great witnesses of the Christian faith. He encourages us to draw forth understanding of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit from the likes of Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, Edwards, and many more who set the pace for the practice of the Christian faith across the ages, so that our faith might be enhanced, deepened, and well-informed.
