In this second volume from Crossway Books we have biographies and writings from Christian Apologists from the 16th century to present day. The book starts with Martin Luther and moves through to modern day Apologists such as Os Guiness.
The editors have put together brief biographies of those writers they are highlighting and then give us either an article they have written or a chapter out of one of their famous works. The intent of the this work is to help every Christian learn more about those writers / theologians who have shaped our thinking in regards to Christianity.
This second volume is over 700 pages, so it is not a quick read, but it is an extensively researched and produced volume that will help everyone who works through it to learn more about the Early Church Fathers up to an including our most modern day thinkers.
Since it is a collection of writings you can pick and choose how you will read through the work. You can first read about your favorites or read about Apologists you have heard about but have never read. So, pick and choose the ones you want to start with, but don't ignore those you don't know, you will be encouraged by all of the depth of knowledge and wisdom these thinkers share with us.
Finally, it is hoped that as you become familiar with these scholars that you will want to read other works that they have penned or the full work from which the articles in this work are taken from.
What a valuable tool.
Enjoy!
