How Classical Theology Counteracts Failings of Contemporary Culture
Western culture impatiently demands practical results and therapeutic comfort. Many within the church have even adopted this mindset, falsely believing that God is most important when he is tending to our earthly needs. How can we help churches resist this pragmatic approach and instead embrace the mystery, awe, and reverence of our great God?
In
Classical Theology for the Modern Mind, historical scholar Carl Trueman examines how remembering history, reciting creeds, and studying ecclesiology counter cultural pathologies that inhibit our modern minds. By retrieving wisdom, orthodoxy, and historic texts from the church fathers, medieval scholastics, and the Protestant Reformers, the church will be better equipped to contemplate God and listen humbly to his word. Trueman's work offers a thoughtful and timely analysis for pastors, students, and anyone interested in theology, culture, and the effects of our modern age.
- Revitalizes Classical Christianity: Explores how remembering history, reciting creeds, and studying ecclesiology will help modern minds flourish
- Appeals to Academics: Ideal for pastors, students, or anyone interested in the study of culture and theology
- Written by Carl Trueman: An esteemed church historian and author of books addressing our modern age, including The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self
