His reflections on the study of history brim with scholarly insight, age-old Christian wisdom, and practical advice. This book will be a great conversation starter in a wide array of Christian college classrooms."
--Douglas A. Sweeney, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

--Thomas S. Kidd, Baylor University
