Textul de pe ultima copertă
What is the purpose of studying history? John Fea shows how reflecting on contemporary life from a historical perspective helps us better understand ourselves, the world around us, and the God we worship and serve.
"John Fea is quickly becoming one of the most important voices in the up-and-coming generation of Christian historians. 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
"John Fea's "Why Study History?" performs a tremendous service for all students, teachers, and readers of history. His provocative, entertaining approach raises all the right questions about the historical vocation."
--Thomas S. Kidd, Baylor University
"John Fea's love of his craft is infectious and his knowledge of it inspiring. Serious readers of "Why Study History?" will find their own love and knowledge of history deepened in satisfying and fruitful ways. We are fortunate to have such a gifted public scholar in our midst."
--Eric Miller, Geneva College; author of "Hope in a Scattering Time: A Life of Christopher Lasch
"
"John Fea has written a splendid, engaging book at once erudite and accessible. Anyone interested in the craft of the historian or the relationship between historical inquiry and the life of faith stands to benefit from having this volume within reach."
--Thomas Albert Howard, director, Center for Faith and Inquiry, Gordon College
"Professor Fea's scholarly integrity and theological insight ensure that" Why Study History?" will generate many hours of lively discussion on the relationship between Christian faith and the study of history. Fea challenges both the careless discourse that passes for historical inquiry among many Christian groups and the conventional norms of the discipline he clearly adores. Those seeking greater clarity regarding the intrinsic value of historical study and its proper appropriation would be hard pressed to find a more valuable resource than "Why Study History?""
