The Lion Concise Book of Christian Thought

A society with no grasp of its history is like a person without a memory. This is particularly true of the history of ideas. This work is an introduction to the thinkers and writers who have shaped Christian history and Western culture - as well as to the books, documents, statements and creeds they left behind. From the first century to the 20th, from Palestine via Europe to Asia and Africa, these thinkers speak to us in this work.
