Such is the motivation behind Michael Reeves' introduction to a selection of influential or significant Christian theologians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis accessible and informative volume covers the Apostolic Fathers, Justin Martyr and Irenaeus, Athanasius, Augustine, Anselm and Thomas Aquinas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter begins with a brief biography and some background, then surveys each theologian's major work or works, gives a timeline for historical context, and ends with guidance for further reading.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ONE Audiobooks","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50260187447600,"sku":"BDvxwy","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/vxwy-cover.jpg?v=1761779737","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-vxwy","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
