Remembering the Christian past

by Robert Louis Wilken

"This collection of essays touches on various issues dealt with by thinkers who lived long ago in cultural settings distant from our own. Yet it also addresses questions that are still pertinent today: the role of commitment in the study of religion, religious pluralism, Christian apologetics, the biblical roots of the doctrine of the Trinity, the spiritual interpretation of the Bible, the importance of examples for living a virtuous life, and the place of the passions in our relation to God." -- Description from publisher.
