Inhaltsangabe

In a pluralistic culture with competing beliefs and values, there is a desire to get back to basics—the classic expressions of the Christian faith. This 365-day devotional introduces readers to the minds and hearts of many of the most influential thinkers in church history. Each reading, modernized for today's audience, takes readers through two millennium of riches—from the early church fathers through the Medieval thinkers and the great councils, and on into the Reformation, the Renaissance, and the birth of the modern mind. An elegant edition for the nightstand, the desktop, or the coffee table, How Great Is Our God is one part historical tour, one part devotional, one part guide for living, and one part gift book. It will appeal to every Christian who wants to hear the hearts and discover the classic voices of Christianity through the ages.
